It refers to the spirit of communal unity, work, and cooperation to achieve a particular goal. A portion of the proceeds from art sold will go to support Asian American LEAD (AALEAD). The opening reception will take place May from 6–9pm.
The submission deadline is March 25. This call is open to artists of color producing original paintings, screen prints, illustrations, digital prints, photographs, stand-alone installations or 3-dimensional work with print components. Artwork must be displayable on a wall and must be wired for hanging and no larger than 4x5 feet. Art that highlights the Spirit of Bayanihan, AAPI culture or perspective, social justice, and racial justice issues are especially encouraged.
