VSA celebrates artistic achievements

VSA arts of Wisconsin, an organization that celebrates the artistic achievements of people with disabilities, is issuing its annual statewide Call for Art.

Artists ages five and older with disabilities are encouraged to explore their creative abilities and submit their original works of art.

Submissions may include two- and three-dimensional works of art.

A jury of arts professionals reviews submissions, looking for creativity, originality and artisanship. All submitting artists will have at least one artwork publicly displayed at an exhibition site in Madison in March and will receive certificates of participation.

Adult artwork may be available for sale.Purchase, honorable mention, recognition, and viewer’s choice awards are presented to select artists during an awards reception. Works of art that receive purchase awards will be bought by VSA and will become part of the Traveling Exhibition, which is displayed at libraries, corporations, and cultural venues throughout the state.

The deadline for submission is Feb. 3.
