CALL SUMMARY
Artists of Color Expo & Symposium (ACES) is a two-day, BIPOC-led program with performances, exhibits, presentations, workshops, and open forums. Our vision is to establish a space for us to celebrate and center ourselves, especially in communities of color where crisis breeds innovation. We are coming together with intentionality to value our work and to see each other as resources, while focusing on the challenges and solutions we face as artists of color in the Pacific Northwest.
We invite you to apply and share your art, expertise, wisdom, passion, and joy!
Event Date: Saturday May 15 – Sunday May 16, 2021
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, ACES will be presented entirely online. Visual arts will still be displayed in a gallery, and attendees will be able to view the art by a virtual tour.
