Call for Artists - Power of Art
|
Attention Artists! We would like you to be a part of the largest art project in the history of Los Angeles, Power of Art. We are physically turning
LA into the largest art gallery in the world and we would be honored if you submitted your work for consideration.
For centuries, artists have been pushed to the side, disrespected and taken advantage of for their talent. This is especially true in Los Angeles. But
enough is enough. It is time to bring opportunity to artists and bring them out of the shadows.
Power of Art is unveiling LA's soul in the streets. We have successfully fought to secure mural access to over 4,000 signal boxes in Los Angeles.
