Call for Artists!

Artist Registration - ARTOMATIC 419! Blue Room Entries
ARTOMATIC419!

Help spread the word that Child Abuse Is Preventable!

Lucas County Children Services and the Toledo Free Press proudly announce an open call to artists to submit new or existing art for the “Blue Room” at ARTOMATIC 419!

Why blue? And, why ARTOMATIC 419!?

Blue is the color for child abuse prevention. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we believe that artistic expression is a great way to unite the community in its commitment to prevent child abuse in the Toledo area. ARTOMATIC 419! is providing a venue – the “Blue Room” – for local artists to share works in blue in color or blue in theme.

There is no jury process. Artists simply register an artwork and bring it to the Toledo Free Press Offices at 605 Monroe St. in downtown Toledo on Thursday, April 4 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. There is no limit, and “Blue Room” submissions may be in addition to any other works you are submitting to ARTOMATIC 419!. Artists of all skill and experience levels are invited to participate.

How exactly does painting anything prevent or reduce child abuse?

" Spread the word that child abuse is preventable" You mean people don't know that child abuse is preventable? We have to spread the word?

So someone comes upon a room with paintings and says
" wow...I thought child abuse was unpreventable, but now that I have seen this room with paintings I can see that it is preventable"

Of course the people that abuse children will learn of the painting room and immediately stop abusing their children.

Should we not throw in a few more buzz phrases like
"raising awareness..."

Maybe the just want to support children and want to get the word out that child abuse doesn't have to happen, using their format as a platform to get the word out. I think my above link now is kinda dumb and off topic, sorry.
