Whistler House seeks artwork for genocide exhibit
LOWELL -- The Whistler House Museum of Art is seeking artwork that
addresses genocide for an upcoming exhibit running March 18 through
April 25. The deadline for entries is Feb. 6.
The exhibition will bring attention to genocide, the systematic,
widespread extermination or attempted extermination of an entire
national, racial, religious or ethnic group.
It will use art to raise awareness and educate people on the
atrocities wrought on various groups, including the Armenian, Jewish,
Cambodian, Bosnian, Sudanese, Rwandan and American-Indian cultures.
This year is significant in that it marks the 100th anniversary of the
Armenian genocide, the 70th anniversary of the end of the Jewish
Holocaust and the 40th anniversary of the Cambodian Genocide.
All works of art presented should be rooted in genocide memories and
commemoration and present those stories through artistic expression.
Works in any media may be submitted for consideration, though
submission does not guarantee acceptance. Artwork of all sizes will be
considered for inclusion. No entry fee will be charged.
Contact Heather Linton at www.whistlerhouse.org for application forms.
