• CALL FOR ART Submissions: “JUSTICE & HOPE” Curated, Juried Art Exhibition. Visual Art, Pottery and Jewelry.

    SouthEnd ARTS is thrilled to collaborate with Studio 229 on Brevard at the Historic Brooklyn Collective complex in uptown Charlotte. Once considered the Black Wall Street of Charlotte. Grace AME Zion Church and the Mecklenburg Investment Corporation buildings are all that remain of the once thriving “city within a city” that was bulldozed with the promise of relocation. This removal of 1400 families was known as “Urban Renewal” and the hallowed halls of Charlotte’s Brooklyn, NC tell the story of a vibrant Black Community that must not be forgotten.
  • Curator: Joanna Henry, BFA @jhenrystudio
    Juror: Bryan Wilson, MFA @bryanwilsonmfa

     

    "JUSTICE & Hope"

    Artists are asked to consider:


    1. "Hope is holding a creative tension between what is and what could and should be, each day doing something to narrow the distance between the two.

                  ...... Parker J. Palmer

    2.  "Hope is within our capacity, but it depends on our willingness to do the hard things, to stay hopeful, to challenge these structures and systems, to be vocal and to end this era of silence that has given rise to so many of these issues."

                  ...... Brian Stevenson, Equal Justice Initiative  

    3. “You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.”

                   ...... “An interview with James Baldwin” (1961)

     



    DEADLINE For Submissions: February 7th, 2021 at 11:59PM.

    Member art will be for sale through April, 2021, with a percentage of sales going toward local artist sponsorships to support our commitment to Social Justice and Racial Equity in the ARTS.
