Exhibit to show work by artists with disabilities

VSA arts and Volkswagen are seeking artwork from young artists with disabilities, ages 16-25, living within the U.S. Fifteen finalists will be awarded a total of $60,000 during an awards ceremony on Capitol Hill for the exhibit, titled “Destination Anywhere,” and artwork will be displayed in a nationwide touring exhibit that will debut at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

Artwork may illustrate a destination. Abstract work that relates to feelings or emotions, or an experience of living with a disability and its role in shaping or transforming the destination, also is encouraged. Art must be an original work that has been completed in the last three years. Eligible media include paintings, drawings, fine art prints, photography, computer-generated prints and mixed media. Artwork must be presented in two dimensions and should not exceed 60 inches in either direction.

There is no fee to apply. Visit www.vsarts.org/VW for additional information and entry instructions, or contact Jennifer Colaguori, visual arts coordinator, at jenniferc@vsarts.org or (800) 933-8721, ext. 3885.
