Art & Mind: I Know Who I Am! Journeys of Women of Color & Femme-Expressing Creatives
Entry Deadline: 7/1/23
Budget: $200 Stipend, no submission fee
I Know Who I Am!” is an “Art & Mind” series virtual event occurring on October 5th, 2023 showcasing artists finding solace and healing in art. This event is created by Sista Creatives Rising (SCR), a project founded by Black, invisibly disabled mother-daughter duo Claire Jones and Amaranthia Sepia. Five artists, national and international, will be chosen for their narrative videos and artworks discussing their experiences around race, gender, disability, sexuality and more. All five artists selected will be compensated a total of $200 each. Any medium is accepted. We especially encourage disabled and/or queer BIWOC and femmes of color to apply.
Community gallery
We have made our selections for 2024 but we are always looking for proposals for the future.
Please continue to submit to be considered for 2025 and beyond. To submit, simply email photos of your work and a brief proposal of what your show or series would be about to eriq@foothillsartcenter.org.
All proposals will be considered. See below for the dimensions of the space. Please remember that a modular wall system will be available to add hanging space for artists with larger
collections. All shows in the community Gallery will pay an honorarium of $250 to the artist and installation costs (not shipping) will be covered by FAC.

ENTERING EXHIBITIONS ONLINE THROUGH CAFÉ
CaFÉ (which stands for Call for Entry) is one of the more popular websites for entering exhibitions online, and it’s the one that FAC uses for all of our juried exhibitions. We even make it less expensive to apply through CaFÉ – plus, we give you longer to apply!
One of the best things about CaFÉ is that they have great step-by-step instructions to help you use their website. Learn how to apply to calls for entry using CaFÉ. They make it very easy to set up a profile, search for opportunities, and apply to exhibitions.
