Call to Aritsts - Celebration Design Contest 2024

Friday, January 12, 2024
Juneau, AK

SHI is holding a contest to solicit a design for Celebration. SHI is seeking Northwest Coast art that depicts the theme: Together We Live in Balance, which incorporates two significant concepts. The winning artist will receive $1,000 and the design will appear on materials, including t-shirts and a program, associated with the event, which is one of the largest Native gatherings in the state, drawing thousands of people to Juneau every even year. SHI will also publish an article about the artist in the Celebration program. Note: SHI is requesting sketches of proposed Celebration art, as opposed to finished pieces. The process is similar to a request for proposals. The sketches must be clear enough that reviewers can understand and interpret the concept.
