Malden Access Television Seeks Artists For 'Building Bridges'

Article info, text, and photo provided by curator Susan Burke:

We are seeking artists from all cultural backgrounds who have some connection to Malden to explore and express the challenges and benefits of living in a multicultural community through their artwork. This may include celebrations of multiculturalism, issues of stereotypes and racism, or cross-cultural awareness.

Building Bridges Through Art, an exhibition exploring Malden's diverse community, will be held at the MATV Gallery this summer. Works may be in any two-dimensional medium and in any form of expression, including painting, drawing, photography, collage, etc.

The idea for this exhibit grew out of this year's Malden Reads: One City, One Book program which explored cultural diversity, cross-cultural awareness, and living in a multicultural community.

The prospectus, due by May 25, 2012, is available by contacting Susan Burke at artsbridge@comcast.net or by calling 781-710-5554.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Malden Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
