Call for Artists!

Each year, NCFH commissions an artist to depict an image relevant to the life-style of migratory and seasonal agricultural workers to support the Migrant Health 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 Ag workers. 
 
We invite you to consider this wonderful opportunity to showcase your work and be part of a program that helps others to achieve success. If you are interested in being considered as the 2017 artist, please submit the following to [email protected] by January 20, 2017:

• a direct link to your website or samples of your work (i.e. photographs, brochure, etc.)
• a sketch of your idea along with a description

 
The artist chosen must complete the artwork no later than March 3, 2017.

A $1000 cash prize will be awarded to the selected artist upon completion of the artwork, as well as 5 fine art artist proofs and 10 posters of the image.

In addition to the creation of the original piece of art, the artist agrees to attend the artwork unveiling and participate in poster and print signing at the May 2017 Conference for Agricultural Worker Health in Savannah, GA. Travel expenses will be paid for by NCFH.
