A note about cultural appropriation:
We respect and encourage submissions from a wide variety of voices, cultures, and heritages. Please consider if your art engages in cultural appropriation before submitting. Cultural appropriation is defined by the Americans for the Arts Public Art Resource Center as: “the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of the customs, practices, ideas, and aesthetics of one people or society by members of another, typically more dominant people or society. It is the taking of something from a less-dominant culture in a way its members find offensive, with the feeling that the cultural heritage of the less dominant people has been misunderstood and misused by people in a position of power or privilege.” Learn more here.
