Works of art related to breastfeeding are being sought for a juried “Art of Breastfeeding” show put on by the Lincoln County Breastfeeding Coalition and the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts. In an article in the Newport News Times, Pat Lewis of the Lincoln County Breastfeeding Coalition says:
“There are lots of images out there of formula feeding; it’s so common it doesn’t even register with people,” Lewis says. “But there are no images of breastfeeding in the public venue … the images may be out there, but we don’t see them. It’s not in the social psyche.” …
The show is open to all artists, and original two- or three-dimensional works in all media will be accepted. Lewis says, “Artists are encouraged to consider the theme broadly, whimsically and seriously.”
The show will run at the Lincoln City Cultural Center and the Visual Arts Center in Newport from August 3-30 in celebration of World Breastfeeding Week and Breastfeeding Success Month in Lincoln County.
It costs $5 to submit an entry and submissions must be received by 4 p.m. on June 14, 2007. The juried show offers prizes of $200 for first place, $100 for second, and $50 for third and a People’s Choice award will be given at the end of the display.
Perhaps artist Birgit will enter!
