Calling All Student Artists for illustrations for an upcoming children's book: BLUEGRASS BOLD: STORIES OF KENTUCKY WOMEN
A children’s book of Kentucky’s bold civic leaders, past and present, illustrated by Kentucky artists. See more at http://bluegrassbold.com/; See the full Call for Artists here.
Bluegrass Bold will showcase women of Kentucky who actively contributed to bettering the Bluegrass and beyond. Profiling a diverse group of Kentuckians, each page provides a brief story of the individual, coupled with a portrait created by a Kentucky artist.
Eligibility:
Because the project gives voice to Kentucky women that have largely been left out of the history books, the authors also want to lift up the women artists that are helping to shape the art and culture of our state. Professionals or pre-professional, young and old, let's see your work!
The authors are encouraging contributions from diverse female artists. Because Bluegrass Bold will tell an inclusive story of Kentucky, we also want to ensure that artists involved in the project reflect the diversity of the women featured in this book.
Eligible artists must be women living in, or have a history with, Kentucky. K-12 students are encouraged to apply!
