We're seeking MORE vibrant art that fits the space in the new Superior branch, depicts our community and its culture, and tells its stories. The selections from our first call to artists are above. All are welcome, but BIPOC artists are especially encouraged to apply. The current selection cycle will result in the purchase of at least three pieces for the permanent collection at YDL-Superior. There will be an additional selection cycle in 2025. Please use the form below to tell us about your nomination. PLEASE NOTE: this form is to nominate yourself for consideration.
