In·del·i·ble /inˈdeləb(ə)l/

Indelible refers to something that cannot be removed, erased, or forgotten; it leaves a lasting and permanent mark or impression. The foundation of America bears the indelible imprint of Black labor, a powerful force that played an instrumental role in shaping the nation's prosperity. From the toil of enslaved individuals to the contributions of Black workers in various industries, to being a primary source of inspiration and creativity today. The resilience and spirit of Black people's invaluable contributions formed the foundation of the nation we have today and we honor that by celebrating the essence of relentless change and unapologetic black expression.

This call serves as a celebration of you and for those who came before you. With this call, we amplify your beauty, your blackness, your ancestors, your voice, the soul within you from which a nation was born. Our uniqueness and indelible power has led us from June 19th, 1865 to present day and we want to show the world!

We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between March 13 and April 29, 2024. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on billboard ad space, plus a gallery exhibition at Gallery 90220 in Los Angeles, CA.

Open call for art ends April 29, 2024. There is a $10 donation per image submission to participate, each donation is tax deductible and goes to producing the public art.

Curator

Delaney George is a New Orleans-raised visual artist, photographer, curator, director, gallery owner, and co-founder of creative arts agency DCDG & Co. In her practice, George most often portrays the black femme narrative through a series of photoshoots she fully conceptualizes. Most creative epiphanies come to George in a series of dreams or visions. George's work aims to extract feeling from the viewer by consistently portraying themes of nostalgia, femininity, and history re-imagined.

In her career, George has served on several curatorial boards for large scale collections such as the New Orleans Museum of Art and was pronounced the youngest black female photographer to show at Frieze Los Angeles in 2023. George’s work can be found in various private and public collections around the U.S. such as the Charlotte Street Foundation, The New Orleans Contemporary Art Museum and more!
