Call for PA Artists With Disabilities

If you are an artist who lives in Pennsylvania and has a disability, the Governor's Advisory Committee for People with Disabilities is looking for you.

The committee is looking to showcase people's talent through the Works for Me 2013 calendar. Click here to see last year's calendar.

Through this calendar, you can help raise awareness about employment supports for those who have a disability. This calendar will feature information about work incentives and will also include selected artwork.

Here are some guidelines if you would like to submit artwork:

What you can send: (Must be original art you have done yourself; include title of the artwork, full name of artist, phone number, email address)

• Photographs
• Paintings (picture of)
• Sculptures (picture of)
• Wall hangings, textile designs (picture of)

How you can send it:

• Better to use a digital camera rather than a cell phone camera.
• A picture taken by camera and sent by file through the computer
• A picture as an email attachment has .jpg or .gif at end of file name
• Please send only the best picture for each artwork
• Limit of one picture for each email
• Please limit artwork to 3 items per artist

All artwork should be submitted by email to Kiley Hassinger at c-khassing@pa.gov by May 31, 2012.

Artists will be contacted in July 2012 if their work has been chosen. Winning entries will be featured in the 2013 calendar. For questions, contact: 1-877-268-9894.
