Manilatown and Beyond: Contributions of Filipinos in America 2009 Call for Artists

The Manilatown Center's quarterly exhibitions are themed presentations, with accompanying auxiliary programming. The theme for 2009 is Manilatown and Beyond: Contributions of Filipinos in America. The general theme will be subdivided into four topics. You do not have to be Filipino to submit a proposal, but the work must address the Filipino/Filipino American experience. Our suggested exhibition themes are:

1. Overview of Filipino contributions to America
2. Alaskan Canneries
3. Beyond the I-Hotel: Other affordable housing struggles, other hotels, youth and activism, etc.
4. Filipino/Filipino American Farm workers
5. You may suggest a separate topic that fits into our overall theme of Manilatown and Beyond: Contributions of Filipinos in America.

If you are interested in submitting your work for consideration for the 2009 exhibition, please contact us at mhf@manilatown.org. The exhibits will be up for nearly three months starting in January. The quarters are: Jan/Feb/Mar; Apr/May/June; July/Aug/Sept; Oct/Nov/Dec. We also invite proposals for auxiliary events, such as readings, film showings, panel discussions, etc. to present along with the exhibitions.
