CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The All Souls Procession Fundraising Committee is seeking artwork donations for an art auction at the fall fundraising event “Bones for Bones”. This indoor event is on October 1st in the auditorium at Armory Park. Along with the art auction we will have an outstanding lineup of local music and performances. Food will also be available for sale. All funds will benefit the annual All Souls Procession and organizers Many Mouths One Stomach.
This is a great community opportunity to show your work and give to our most well attended public event. The All Souls Procession is perhaps one of the most important, inclusive and authentic public ceremonies in North America today. The Procession had its beginnings in 1990 with a ritualistic performance piece created by local artist Susan Johnson, who was grieving the passing of her father. Inspired by Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos holiday, Johnson felt she should honor her father in celebration and creativity. The performance was very well received and many artists were inspired to continue growing the Procession into its modern incarnation. Today, over 20,000 people participate in the 2-mile procession and related events. This event is funded entirely by grants, donations, business contributions, and fundraising.
Your artwork can help us meet our goals for the 21st All Souls Procession.
