Announcement: Dec 23, 2020
The 1st Annual Ottoson Art Challenge
Call for Art Submissions
Theme: “This is Who We Are”
Calling all Ottoson artists and creators! The Ottoson Middle School Visual Arts Department is pleased to announce, “This is Who We Are,” a themed art challenge. If you are a current student at Ottoson and you’re ready to get creative, we want to hear from you.
The theme of “This is Who We Are” asks you to show us who you really are. You are more than just a middle school student, you are an individual with goals, ideas, talents, and passions. These qualities contribute to your family, community, town, culture, and beyond. How you interpret this challenge is up to you, but we’ve created some prompts to help you get started. The OMS community has many strengths and talents; this is your chance to shine.
We will be accepting work in the following categories: visual arts, graphic and digital arts, film and video, and writing. All contributions that follow our project guidelines will be shared on our website and social media. Some pieces will be chosen for special recognition and displayed on banners and digital reproductions around the school, some of which will remain for future generations of Ottoson students to enjoy.
Visit http://omsthisiswhoweare.weebly.com to check out our guidelines, prompts, FAQs, and to submit work through our online portal. Email [email protected] with any questions.
The submission deadline is February 12th, 2021.
Good luck! We’re looking forward to seeing the wide range of creativity we know you have to offer.
This project is cosponsored by the Ottoson Visual Arts Department and the Gibbs / Ottoson Diversity and Inclusion Group, with support from the Ottoson Media Center and ACMi. It is made possible by a generous grant from the Arlington Education Foundation.
