Special Note
The butterfly is a symbol that the Imagine HOPE project would like to incorporate into the exhibit. If appropriate for your piece, please consider including a butterfly image (size and style are at the artist's discretion). The butterfly is a symbol of metamorphosis, hope, and change. Our Child Advocacy Center has used a butterfly for many years as a visual element in a variety of ways, including interior decor, marketing materials, and through child development art activities. This is NOT required but would be welcomed.
Framing
Center for Hope will provide all framing for artwork to ensure uniformity. If necessary, the artist may provide a standard-sized mat for their artwork. If you need an exception to framing, please notify us.
Delivery and Installation of Art
Artists are responsible to deliver their art to Center for Hope (either in person or by shipping) and provide a JPEG of their art for publication. Center for Hope will install all art and retains sole discretion on placement.
Recognition & Exposure
Each piece will have a nameplate identifying the artist and title. Over 7,000 people will visit Center for Hope annually, including clients, donors, and community members. Art may be used in Center for Hope websites, media coverage, social platforms, publications, and commemorative artbooks. Selected artists will be invited to a fall 2022 reception.
