Call for artists: Call for Artists: Urban Housing Solutions "Art Works for Change": art due Nov 20
We invite artists to submit work for our 2nd annual Art Works for Change student art competition and silent auction.
Art Works for Change is the culmination of a local student art competition, where prizes are awarded, students are honored, and their work is auctioned to benefit the residents of Urban Housing Solutions.
Alongside student artwork, established community artists submit their work for auction. This not only serves to make the event a greater success, but also brings together a community of artists old and young, established and new, for a good cause.
Urban Housing Solutions is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, providing affordable housing and comprehensive services in Nashville for over 1,000 individuals per year. We serve not only low-income families, but also disabled Nashvillians such as those struggling with mental illness, AIDS/HIV, domestic violence survival, recovery from drugs/alcohol, and chronic homelessness.
We expect 250-300 guests at this year's event including local philanthropists, artists, parents, art buyers, and business professionals. Artists who donate their work will have the chance to exhibit their pieces and biographical information to these guests while helping move Nashville from poverty to possibility!
All donations are tax deductible, and we can arrange for a pick-up.
All proceeds go directly to resident programming.
Thank you very much for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me at any time. We hope to have all art in hand by November 20th.

Call for artists - Opportunity to donate work for Cumberland Heights
Opportunity for visibility through donated artwork for Cumberland Heights – an alcohol and chemical dependency treatment center in Davidson County.
I work in Development at Cumberland
Heights and we just put a new coat of paint on the walls in our
original administration building after many years. In that process most
of the junk was taken off the walls, and it looks so nice we are now
thinking we need to put up something worthwhile for the enjoyment of our
patients and their families.
I was hoping you might consider as a local artist donating a piece for this very visible place.
(Even if you pass along this email to your list - that would be a big help.) Thousands
of people are in and out of that building for therapy and meals over a
years period of time and it would be a good spot for an artist to
highlight their work. Because of the nature of our facility, we have to
be somewhat limiting in subject matter as our goal is to promote holistic
healing. Therefore, we may not be in a position to accept any piece.
There are two walls which face each other. They are each 15 feet long and
from the chair rail the ceiling is 6 feet high. Lots of space for the
right pieces.
If you are willing, I would be most appreciative. The donated pieces
would be highlighted in our quarterly newsletter which is mailed to
20,000+ households across the nation. If any interested artist wants to
see the space, I would be willing to arrange a time for a visit or send photos of the space.
See contact information below.
Thank you for your support in this project.
