West Hollywood, California - The City of West Hollywood through its Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission invites artists to create a poster proposal that celebrates the theme of this year’s One City One Pride Festival. The winner will receive $300, and the opportunity to have his or her art viewed by the entire city as part of the One City One Pride promotional campaign. The deadline for submissions is Monday, February 25, 2013. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, March 13, 2013.
The theme of this year’s festival is “The Sacred and the Profane.” It tackles the dichotomy of the LGBT experience: how the community views itself in contrast to how it is seen from the outside, a blending of the spiritual and the carnal, of things holy and wicked, and of things granted and taken away. “The Sacred and the Profane” symbolically represents opposites that can co-exist.
Poster submissions will be evaluated based on artistic quality, appropriateness to the West Hollywood community, and creative integration of “The Sacred and the Profane” theme. Specific technical guidelines and submission forms can be found at www.weho.org/pride
Scheduled to be held from Friday, May 31 through Sunday, June 16, 2013, the City of West Hollywood’s sixth annual One City One Pride festival is a celebration of artistic contributions of the LGBT community. During this time, there are numerous events featuring dance, film, spoken word, visual art, and more.
