Local museum calls on artists, photographers

Written By Sam Odrowski

The Museum of Dufferin is calling on local artists and photographers to send in submissions for its Black History Month Exhibition, presented in partnership with Dufferin County Canadian Black Association. 

The juried photography and art exhibition is taking place online and those looking to enter can apply at: https://www.dufferinmuseum.com/bhm/ and find out more about the competition. 

There is no fee to enter the show and the theme is “Solidarity in My Community.” The theme stems from the “overwhelming cries to address anti-black racism, systemic discrimination and social justice reform worldwide following the death of George Floyd,” according to the Museum of Dufferin's website.

Artists and photographers are encouraged to share images and artwork that show what “Solidarity in My Community” means to them. Awards will be announced for Best in Show, Student Award, and Juror's Choice Award. 

The deadline to apply is Feb. 1 at 5 p.m.
