Call to artists for fundraiser | News, Sports, Jobs – SANIBEL-CAPTIVA

Community Housing & Resources is seeking artist applications for its Give Your Art To CHR fundraiser. This year’s theme will honor the city of Sanibel’s 50th anniversary. Open to ages 18 and older, artists of all levels of experience and disciplines are welcome. Paintings and drawings will be accepted, and CHR will provide canvases and boards. Artists must submit a bio and photo, three photographs of previous artwork and a description of their proposed art for the project. The application deadline is June 15 at 11:59 p.m. Twenty-five artists will be chosen by Aug. 1, and the artwork is due on Sept. 30. The pieces will be displayed throughout Sanibel and Captiva from early November through the holidays. A gala event and auction will follow on Feb. 1, where the artwork will be sold to raise funds for CHR. For more information or to apply, visit https://sancapchr.org/give-your-art/.
