All artists in the Greater Kansas City area are invited to enter their artwork for inclusion in the stART the conversation art exhibit. In order to include the perspectives of as many artists as possible, we will only be accepting one piece of artwork per artist due to spatial limitations. In the event that the number of received submissions exceeds spatial capacity, determinations regarding inclusion of artwork in the exhibition will be made based on the artwork’s connection to mental health as evidenced by the artist statement included in the entry materials.
Artists have the option to apply to be a Featured Artist. Featured Artists may have their work shared on Wyandot BHN’s social
media, speak during the event on May 7, and/or be included in an extended exhibition at a Wyandot BHN location for the
remainder of the month. Artists interested in submitting their work for inclusion in the exhibition should complete the entry form found below. There are separate entry forms for youth (under 18 years of age) and adults. The youth form requires permission from a parent/guardian.
Completed entry forms must be dropped off at 757 Armstrong or submitted via email to communications@wyandotbhn.org no later than Friday, April 10. All visual artwork entries must be dropped off at 757 Armstrong Avenue no later than Friday, April 24, unless alternative drop-off arrangements are made with event organizers. The stART the conversation art exhibition is open to a variety of art forms, including paintings, sculptures and performance art pieces, provided we can accommodate the artwork's needs in our exhibition space.
Please send an email to communications@wyandotbhn.org with any questions.
