Raices Taller 222 Art Gallery & Workshop presents our 6th Annual Exhibition of Art by Women

Mujeres, Mujeres, Mujeres (Women, Women, Women)

Our annual exhibition of art by women, Mujeres, Mujeres, Mujeres is always an exciting exhibition of painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media work by local, national and international women artists. The work ranges from traditional to cutting edge contemporary and brings together women artists that are daring both inwardly and outwardly - artists who continue to make art with the knowledge that art made by women has been largely ignored throughout much of cultural history.

Mujeres, Mujeres, Mujeres exhibition dates are May 1 through June 12, 2010.

To submit work for consideration, email us a jpeg of your work to www.RaicesTaller222@aol.com or call us at (520) 881-5335 for more information.

Dear Artist,

Gifts of Art is currently accepting proposals for our September 2010 through August 2011 exhibit year. One of the first and most comprehensive arts-in-healthcare programs nationwide, Gifts of Art brings the world of art & music to the University of Michigan Health System.

Our nine galleries display 50 exhibits a year. They include 2-D and 3-D spaces that are viewed by approximately 10,000 people a day, or about 3.4 million people a year.  This makes our galleries some of the most widely visited indoor, non-museum exhibit spaces in the state.

Selection Criteria
In selecting artwork, Gifts of Art's primary mission is to create a more comfortable and calming atmosphere within the often stressful environment of a hospital and to provide a positive distraction for our patients, visitors and staff. We take into consideration the medical and emotional sensitivities of our viewers. Overt sexual content, violence and nudity will not be considered. We will also avoid pieces that are confrontational, obviously depressing or contain negative medical connotations.
