(Seguin) — Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin and the city of Seguin seek to commission a professional indigenous artist to design and create a visual art or mixed media art creation, which must be able to travel to educational, city, business, and other locations.
Organizers say the National Endowment for the Arts “Our Town Sharing of People, Places, Culture and Stories through Art Creation in Seguin” is a project that has been well thought out, historically documented, and looks to answer the long-standing question — “What is the rest of the story about our community?” One of the project goals is to bring the rest of the story to the forefront thus sharing and documenting the facts, the struggles experienced and the resiliency of the people who live(d) here through co-community art creation. The other goal of this project is to strengthen our community over the long term.
For more detailed information, a link to the artist application is available online. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, January 30. The organizers say if you have already applied, they have your application on file and it will be reviewed after January 30th deadline.
Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin was founded in 1982 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The mission of Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin is to promote a better understanding of the Mexican American culture by the teaching, study, practice, and performance of the arts and humanities.
This project is partially sponsored by National Endowment for the Arts, Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin, and the city of Seguin.
