VSA arts Invites Entries From Young Artists With
Disabilities
for Green Light Awards
Deadline: July 11, 2008
Sponsored by VSA arts ( http://vsarts.org/ ) with
support from
Volkswagen of America, Inc. (
http://volkswagengroupamerica.com/ ),
the Green Light Awards program is open to young
artists between
the ages of 16 and 25 living in the United States who
have a
physical, cognitive, or mental disability. A
disability is defined
as an impairment that substantially limits a major
life
activity.
The program invites entries of both representational
and abstract
work. Artwork may illustrate actual aspects of what
signals the
artist's creative motivations such as the physical
world or personal
discoveries. Abstract work that relates to feelings or
emotions is also encouraged. Work might also reflect
the artist's
experience of living with a disability and its role in
shaping
or transforming their work.
Art must be an original work that has been completed in
the
last three years. Eligible media include paintings and
drawings
(oil, watercolor, acrylic, pencil, or charcoal), fine
art prints
(lithographs, etching, intaglio, or woodcuts),
photography,
computer-generated prints, and two-dimensional mixed
media.
This year the program also welcomes entries of
sculpture and
time-based media (video, film, etc.).
The program will award one Grand Prize of $20,000, one
First
Award of $10,000, one Second Award of $6,000, and
twelve Awards
of Excellence of $2,000 each.

information.
