government, by and for the people, understood the importance of art in

values. Since that time, art has acted as a forum for public opinion and as
a powerful tool for critique and communication in our democracy.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION — by and for: art and democracy

Exhibition Dates: June 11 to July 3, 2011

Organized by the Southern California Women's Caucus for Art, this
exhibition seeks to inspire a public conversation on democracy and art
as part of a year-long democracy initiative at Avenue 50 Studio that
includes exhibitions and programs supported, in part, by a California
Council for the Humanities grant.

We encourage Southern California artists at all career levels whose
artwork addresses the topic of art and democracy to submit works that
speak-to and question the shifting meanings of freedom and equality,
censorship and civil liberties and specifically consider the role of
art in a democracy. Or, simply put, does democracy need art?
