Curated Storefront Call For Artists Help in MASK-R-AID Initiative
By: A.A. Cristi Apr. 17, 2020
In response to the CDC's recommendation for people to wear masks in public and as COVID-19 continues to impact the arts ecosystem, Curated Storefront announces a call for artists to create functional masks to be put into production, sold online at www.CuratedStorefront.org, and exhibited at a Curated Storefront site.
Curated Storefront's mission is to support the creative economy by continuing to provide artists with a source of income. Half of the proceeds from sales will go back to artists directly with the remainder benefiting Curated Storefront. This puts great art in the hands and on the faces of the public while helping them to stay safe.
Cash awards will be given to first through third place winners. MASK-R-AID submissions will be juried by Curated Storefront's Curatorial Committee.
Contact info@curatedstorefront.org with any questions.
