CALL FOR ARTIST!
Elizabeth Phelps, "Lifelines: Sustento de Vida," 2022
The National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health of agricultural workers and their families in the United States and Puerto Rico. Each year, NCFH commissions an artist to depict an image relevant to the lifestyle of agricultural and seasonal farmworkers to support the NCFH Annual Scholarship Award program. Proceeds from the sale of fine art prints and posters are used to award scholarships to individuals with the potential to positively affect agricultural workers. The NCFH Annual Scholarship Award program was established in 1984 and offers scholarships in the amount of $1500 to support degree programs and up to $1000 scholarships to support certificate programs or other educational opportunities to all employees and board members of Community Health Center staff of clinical, administrative, and ancillary disciplines to help them with their academic goals. The Conference for Agricultural Worker Health will be held in Seattle, Washington, in May 2023, where the artwork will be unveiled.
