*Call to Artists/Makers* *Summer SOULstice* *Thursday, June 21, 2018* *Tacoma Art Museum* *6-8pm* Are you an emerging artist/maker that identifies as an ethnic/racial minority, disabled or LGBTQ+? Please consider applying to exhibit or sell your work/products! First time sharing your work? Great! Looking for a safe space to celebrate community and our collective survival? This is it! *Overview* Hosted by Tacoma’s Poet Laureate Kellie Richardson, Summer SOULstice is an intersection of creativity, community and commerce. June 21st marks summer solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year. SOULstice will hold space to celebrate this annual miracle by featuring emerging and established artists from marginalized communities. The work featured should carry themes of awakening and healing, personal connection to Earth and spirit, as well as the thread of human experience that connects us all. The weight of historical oppression, generational trauma has never diminished the indelible joy, creativity, innovation and pride of those on the margins. SOULstice underscores this victory.

The *deadline for applications is May 21, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time*. Please forward your questions/concerns to brownbetty253@gmail.com. Thanks for your interest! Kellie
