Women of Color and Culture, we invite you to imagine, yourself as the artist painter. You are painting along with music playing in the background that you love, and you have just put the finishing touches onto your canvas.
You step back to look at your work and you are extremely pleased with what you see in front of you. This painting feels very special. It is the deepest expression of who you are. Your entire body begins to vibrate with joyful energy and your whole being is dancing. You pick up the canvas as if it is your partner, and you begin to move and groove with it. Swaying back and forth.
You feel happy and complete. You take it with you outside. It is a beautiful, sunny, blue skies day, and in the warm breeze you continue your dance. All of sudden you look around, and there are many other women stepping out into the streets with you, carrying their own canvas partners! All of the women twirl around with skirts flaring, holding up their paintings with deep pride.
Many more are gathering into the streets now as they see and hear loud drums, music, and horns blaring the syncopated cacophony of joyful noise! A celebration is at hand, and all are welcomed as a woman with a megaphone, calls forth her sisters, children and community to join in the Carnaval of Spirt Love parade.
Women of the Diaspora, Who You Be? Join us now! Allow yourself to open up to the adventure of discovery. We come from near and far, all over the globe with unique and shared experiences.
What is the message of you? As a cultural woman, how do you express yourself in color, image, spirit, symbol and word? You are the beauty that needs to be seen, adored, beheld, honored and remembered. Women of power come forth now. The ancestors are calling.
An adventure awaits you, open your eyes, your hearts come and participate. What you will see in this art, are doorways into the oneness, and fullness of all women everywhere. This visual adventure will resonate deep into your bones— let it shift your perception. Let it change your experience. Allow it to feed your soul.
Welcome to the Carnaval of Spirit Love, a place of healing and reclaiming your culture in art!
The images submitted to the Carnaval of Spirit Love Art Call will be included in a celebratory exhibit page that will showcase the amazing artistry of our BIWOC Community Members. This will not be a juried show, and therefore everyone who submits an image will be included in the Exhibit. As our Museum weaves together the beauty and magic of image and word, we will also require that each submission includes a written description or poem that provides the important ‘story’ element to weave the context for the image(s) you submit – up to 500 words.
**Full scholarships available – use code “CSL100” at checkout**
Note: The submission fee reflects the administrative and design costs associated with hosting the art call, exhibit, museum show, and promotion and marketing, as well as keeping this as part of our permanent museum collection and archive. All proceeds support our non-profit Intentional Creativity Foundation, which funds our museum, art education, and scholarships for our current and future students.
**All pieces of art submitted will be included as long as it meets our image quality standards and has the written component included.**
