Art for Change 2024 will take place on Friday, October 18 at Stage AE on the North Shore.  We would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in our art auction with a donation of your time and talent to our gallery.
 
Funds raised at Art for Change go to improving the lives and well-being of our LGBTQ+ region and those impacted by HIV/AIDS through counseling, psychiatry, groups, and social support.  Persad focuses its outreach, programming, and services to the populations that are among the most marginalized by the U.S. healthcare system including transgender and gender non-conforming people, lower income people, and older adults.

If you wish to submit a piece for consideration for the auction, simply fill out the below Art Donor Form.  The deadline for submissions is August 16, 2024.  
 
Due to the layout of the event, we can only display 50-75 pieces. Our curators will be reviewing submissions on a rolling basis, so it is critical that your online submission form be complete so there is no delay. 

Each artist who participates will be eligible for Persad’s Artist Give Back Program which allows them to receive 20% from the sale of their piece if they choose. In addition, each artist will receive two complimentary general admission tickets to Art for Change.
Thank you for your cooperation.  Please know that we greatly appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at Art for Change 2024!

Preparation and Submission:

​

1. Ensure all pieces are ready for display and include the appropriate hanging materials.

2. Any piece submitted without proper hanging materials will not be included in the auction.

3. If your piece requires hanging and does not have the necessary materials attached, you will be notified of its removal from the selection. Removed items will not receive any of the benefits available, including complimentary tickets to the event.

4. For questions or concerns, please contact James Eidel at jeidel@persadcenter.org.

Drop-off Instructions:

1. When dropping off your piece, make sure it is properly wrapped or boxed to prevent damage.

Submission Form:

1. Fill out all required entries on the form below. Incomplete forms will not allow you to advance to the next window and will not secure your submission.

2. Properly completed submissions will receive a prompt at the end of the process indicating your item was accepted.

​

Photo Submission Guidelines:

1. Your photo MUST be in jpeg format.

2. If using an iPhone to take a photo of the piece, save the photo to your phone's gallery. This will automatically convert the photo file to a jpeg, allowing you to attach it from your phone's gallery.

3. Submitting your photo directly as a picture attachment after taking the photo will not work.

Multiple Submissions:

1. An individual form must be completed for each piece separately.
