A Call for Artists
International House invites immigrant artists to submit a proposal for a piece that represents their journey to the United States, allowing the community to hear or see their story and take a walk in their shoes.
Participating artists must be over 18 years old and born outside the United States
If selected, as a participant who is chosen to create their piece for The Journey, each artist will be given a stipend as well as audience exposure during a 20-day display inside one of Charlotte International Arts Festival's venues. Once selected, each artist will have between the time of receiving an acceptance email and a due date allowing enough time to be dropped off with Blumenthal Arts to be installed.
Additionally, all selected artists will be invited to a gallery event, hosted by International House, where community members will see your artwork, ask questions, and possibly purchase available work.
The community members will vote, and the winning artist will have their artwork featured in International House’s Annual Report for 2024 as well as win a prize provided by International House.
