Calling All Artists, Poets and Photographers!

AFP invites all members everywhere to submit their art and poetry to exhibit at the Diversity Art Showcase at ICON19, March 31 – April 2, 2019, in San Antonio.

Fundraisers are talented people, and we know many of you have artistic talent. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned artist or poet, you are warmly invited to participate. Fundraisers are a diverse group, and our diversity unites us, making the art showcase even more beautiful and meaningful!

The IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) Committee is sponsoring the Diversity Art Showcase, sponsored by The Alford Group and located in the conference Marketplace. It spotlights youth art, the work of a local professional artist and AFP member artwork.  The showcase strives to portray the uniqueness, value and diversity of people through art, photos and poetry.

Submissions of all types of art are encouraged, including painting, photography, drawing, sketches, collage, quilting, computer art, mixed media and sculpture.  Poetry submissions can include rhymed poetry, free verse, experimental and Haiku.

Take the challenge—be creative and display your art!  Use your artistic talents to show that philanthropy is truly the “love of humanity.”

Members interested in submitting artwork should complete this online form. Email Victor Mitre, CFRE at vmitrejr@stocktondiocese.org or call (209) 609-3937 for additional information or to answer questions.

The deadline to submit is March 1, 2019.

AFP offers its thanks to The Alford Group for sponsoring the AFP Diversity Art Showcase for the 20th consecutive year. We are so appreciative of our partnership spanning two decades, highlighting and promoting diversity in art and the fundraising profession.
