Network/2nd April galerie (209 6th St. NW, Downtown Canton) and at

email address (if available) must be present on all pages of the =
submission
or on the CD. All successful proposals will need to be functional as =

a
Downtown Canton garbage can. All winners will be notified on or before =

additional compensation for supply costs for the project. Projects must =

completed before July 15, 2007.

Stark County Story Quilts Project

Call to Visual Artists: The Stark County Story Quilts Project

The Stark County Story Quilts Project will be an adaptation of the works =
of
renowned artist Faith Ringgold. In a series of workshops held throughout
Stark County and at our educational space downtown, participants will =
learn
about the life and works of Faith Ringgold, an African American artist =
and
author who produced much of her work during the Civil Rights Movement. =
From
this perspective, workshop participants will then be asked to produce =
both a
written and visual history of their experiences in Stark County before,
during and after The Civil Rights Movement, using Faith Ringgold's =
"Story
Quilts" as a model. Upon completion, these "Stark County Story Quilts" =
will
then be assembled at our special exhibition space in Downtown Canton to =
then
be used as a learning tool for school groups, civic groups and other
organizations. Quilt panels will consist of both the literary and visual
elements of each personal history and will be assembled in time periods
based on the age of the participant, creating a timeline effect for the
exhibit. The ultimate goal of this project is to create a permanent =
history
of our community both created by and witnessed by its citizens through =
the
vocabulary of Art. For more information on participating in one of the
workshops or if you are interested in hosting a workshop at your =
location,
