VCFA & For Freedoms - Call for Video

VCFA Call for Video
The Vermont College of Fine Arts is proud to announce its collaboration with the For Freedoms art organization. VCFA is producing a video art installation; a sign-making event and a panel discussion, all open to the public.

About For Freedoms:

For Freedoms started in 2016 as a platform for civic engagement, discourse, and direct action for artists in the United States. Inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 paintings of the four universal freedoms articulated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1941 — freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear — For Freedoms seeks to use art to deepen public discussions of civic issues and core values, and to clarify that citizenship in American society is deepened by participation, not by ideology.

About Vermont College of Fine Arts:

Anchored on its historic campus in Montpelier, VT, VCFA is a global community of artists continuously redefining what it means to be an arts college. We measure our success by our ability to foster the excellence of emerging and established practitioners. We believe that the arts are central to the human experience and have the ability not only to reflect reality but also to create it.

VCFA is seeking submissions of video work that correlate to the ideas in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms, affirming the inalienable human rights of:
1. Freedom of speech
2. Freedom of worship
3. Freedom from want
4. Freedom from fear
Selected work(s) will be shown in a public, out-door screening and projected on to a building in Montpelier, VT. Screening in early/mid October – exact date TBA.
