by submitting artwork to All Kids Can…CREATE!, a national call for
children’s art. The theme, State of the Art, invites young people with
and without disabilities across the United States to explore their environments
and discover the roles they play within their communities.<br>
<br>
All artwork submitted before the February 5, 2010 deadline will be included in
an online art gallery and considered for display in a national touring
exhibition that will debut in Washington, D.C. The exhibition will be on view
during the month of June and will feature one piece of artwork from every state
and the District of Columbia. All submissions will be included within the
exhibition in an interactive kiosk even if they have not been selected for the
touring show. The 51 selected artists will be invited to a congressional
reception to celebrate the opening of the exhibition. While in Washington, D.C.
for the opening reception, these young people will have a chance to join in the
largest celebration of the arts and disability in the world: The 2010
International <i>VSA arts</i> Festival. <br>
