VSA arts is planning the next International VSA arts Festival which will be held June 6 - 12, 2010 in Washington, D.C. Two calls for entry have recently been posted to their website that will support the visual arts components of the Festival:

1.) The first, a call for exhibition proposals, offers curators and researchers an opportunity to propose exhibitions that include artists with disabilities. The deadline is February 20, 2009. Proposals will be reviewed for presentation in advance of and during the Festival. The first exhibition will be programmed at the Kennedy Center from May 28 – June 25, 2009.

2.) The second call, Revealing Culture, solicits applications by artists with disabilities working in all media for an exhibition at the Smithsonian’s International Gallery. The deadline is April 30, 2009. Artists who are not selected for the Smithsonian exhibition will be considered for alternative spaces during the Festival.
