Submissions for the 2009 Peace of Mind Calendar

The Carson J Spencer Foundation is inviting artwork for its third annual calendar. The powerful vehicle of art can side-step the inadequacies of words, and nurture artists and viewers alike in a realm where hope and healing are possible.
Goals:
* To initiate awareness and social change within the community around the issues of mental health and suicide prevention with works of art that speak to hope and recovery
* To unite the various mental health and suicide prevention organizations around the country (i.e. National Alliance on Mental Illness – a major contributor to this project)
* To utilize the vehicle of social business as a tool to support the work of the Carson J Spencer Foundation
Criterion:
* 2 submission per artists is maximum
* Any two-dimensional medium accepted (painting, drawing, photography, mixed, digital, etc)
* New artwork preferred
* Concept: Art must portray the story of how the process of making art has served a window to your wellness, illuminating your story from struggle to recovery
* 100 word narrative ready-for-print (maximum) – succinctly delineates the concept of your personal story to aid viewers in understanding your work and process.
* No submission accepted with references to weapons and/or drugs, nor images of violence
Submissions:
* Please submit a high resolution Jpeg version of your work, accompanied by the 100 word narrative, and applicable contact information (emails preferred) to danneber@regis.edu
* 13 pieces will be selected for the 2009 calendar
* If selected, please note that you will need to send the image in a high resolution (300 dpi minimum) Tiff format with a color setting of CMYK on a CD
* Artwork will be judge upon the basis of artistic merit and adherence to the concept – all decisions are final
Benefits of Participation:
* The calendar will be sold in national chain stores such as Borders and Barnes & Noble
* As an artist you will receive three calendars as compensation and can purchase more at a greatly discounted rate
