Call for Art Submissions: University of the Streets Café
From its inception, the University of the Streets Café has made a special place for the arts in its programming, creating a space for local artists and communities to engage with each other by integrating creative, arts-based topics into many public conversations. Innovative visual arts have also been a mainstay of the University of the Streets Café's print and electronic materials, showcasing the work of local artists. In this spirit, the University of the Streets Café is now accepting submissions from visual artists to illustrate the 2009-2010 University of the Streets Café print and electronic materials.
