Call to Artists: The Bertha Palmer Legacy Project
The Bertha Palmer 2010 Sarasota Centennial celebration throughout 2010 has attracted over 25,000 attendees to date and is the most noted celebration ever of a Sarasota woman pioneer. As part of this celebration, the Bertha Palmer 2010 Sarasota Centennial executive committee has issued a call to artists for the Bertha Palmer Legacy Project. The executive committee has received funding for the Legacy Project through a grant from Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice, and is coordinating the project in partnership with the Sarasota County Arts Council.
Artists are invited to submit proposals of projects that express the achievements of Bertha Palmer, and how her work has enriched the lives of our community. Artists are also asked to imagine how Bertha Palmer’s vision will continue to improve the quality of life of Sarasota County’s residents in the future. The winning proposal will then be unveiled in December 2010, highlighting the final days of the Bertha Palmer 2010 Sarasota Centennial celebrations.
Entry is open to all artists 18 and over residing in Sarasota County. The artist selected to execute their proposal for the Bertha Palmer Legacy Project will receive a stipend of $2,000, all inclusive. Click here for complete submission guidelines. For additional assistance, contact Ashley Brown at abrown@SarasotaArts.org or call 941-365-5118 ext.304.
