Pandemic: An Artistic View
We are living in an historic time. In a very short time, the COVID-19 pandemic and its social and economic components have changed our lives dramatically. The Rotary Club of Castro Valley wants to capture these events for history.
The Rotary Club of Castro Valley and A.R.T., Inc. are jointly sponsoring an online show of photographs, artworks, and poetry that document the coronavirus pandemic in the Castro Valley area. We hope to illustrate the medical, economic, and social effects of the pandemic in our community.
Entries are limited to one (1) entry per artist or poet, but an individual may submit one artwork or photograph, and one poem. All artwork and photographs must be submitted as a jpg file. All poems must be submitted as a Word file. Please see the entry form for further details.
Entries will not be juried or judged. Click here for the Entry Form. Entries may be submitted August 24-September 6, 2020. The show will be posted online from September 21-November 1, 2020.
