Fountain Street Church is a beautiful, historical building offering several spaces for displaying ArtPrize work (refer to website fountainstreet.org for more information). In partnership with the American Civil Liberties Union, Fountain Street’s theme this year is "Art to Change the World: Inspiring Social Justice”. We are looking for art that will honor the role art plays as a change agent for social and economic justice, which demands that basic human needs be met, diversity respected, and freedom of expression and action fostered. Submissions will be judged by their ability to communicate basic human rights issues and to envision a more perfect world. Violence and discrimination of any kind deny social justice. “Art to Change the World“ offers an opportunity for artists to be both creative and compelling. Our exhibit last year drew over 18,000 visitors and was recognized by an ArtPrize juror as one of the top 5 venues. Two prizes of $1,000 each will be awarded by the venue.
