CALL FOR ARTIST!
Mauricio Garay, "Hands of Hope," 2021
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 approximately six to seven $1000 scholarships to
all employees and board members of a Community Health
Center staff of clinical, administrative, and ancillary disciplines
to help them with their educational goals. The Conference for
Agricultural Worker Health will be held in Denver, Colorado,
in May 2022 where the artwork will be unveiled.
We invite you to consider this wonderful opportunity to showcase your work and be a part of a program which helps others to achieve success. If you are interested in being considered as the 2022 artist, please submit the following to favre@ncfh.org by January 21, 2022.
The artist chosen must complete the artwork no later than March 4, 2022. A $1000 cash prize will be awarded to the selected artist upon completion of the artwork, as well as 1 fine artist proof and 5 posters of the image. In addition to the creation of the original piece of art, the artist agrees to attend the conference for the unveiling of the artwork, and to participate in poster and print signing. Travel expenses will be paid for by NCFH. We invite you to visit our website at www.ncfh.org to learn more about the NCFH Annual Scholarship program and view previous years’ artwork. Please consider being a part of this great program and have an opportunity to be recognized on a national basis.
