Call for art! Tell us what the 19th Amendment means to you today
We're seeking original posters inspired by the Women's Suffrage and Equal Rights movements for our "Women’s Voices, One Hundred Years and Counting” exhibition in March 2020. As we near the centennial of the 19th Amendment enabling women to vote, tell us what this struggle means to you today.
The exhibition will feature 50 original posters from Boston area artists to be displayed at Boston City Hall's 3rd floor gallery throughout March 2020. Please fill out the below form to submit your work. Thank you!
