A CALL FOR ENTRIES! If you know any artists, please forward.
The Women’s Therapy Centre Institute and Endangered Bodies have access to a prominent billboard in New York City and are seeking a bold, unique and inspiring design. We want an outstanding image that will compete with the barrage of skinny, white, young, digitally altered images of women/girls.
Our message is empowerment and self-acceptance through the promotion of diversity and the representation of healthy, powerful, sensual, women of every size, color, age, nationality and sexual orientation. By attracting mass attention and competing visually, we aspire to combat the serious psychological damage done to girls and women resulting from the uni-dimensional image ideal.
Submit a design idea, concept or final image to us and we will select one designer’s image to be displayed on the billboard, for potentially millions of people to see. Please be open to collaboration and/or requests for minor edits or revisions. There’s no financial compensation, but your work will be on a billboard in Manhattan! Please send any questions and all jpeg submisions to Caren Shapiro at cjart@aol.com We look forward to your submissions!
ongoing project - stay tuned for results!
