The Research Triangle Foundation is looking for visual artists to join us on June 19th as part of our Juneteenth Celebration, Party in the Park.
Our vision is to have artists creating live, bespoke pieces throughout the evening based on a united theme around Juneteenth. Attendees will be able to watch the artists in their element and gain appreciation for their process. We hope that artists are fueled by the energy of the event and create a piece that is representative of their style, perspective, and culture.
The art created will be actioned off to attendees at the conclusion of the event. All proceeds collected through the auction will be donated to an organization selected by the community. Apply here.
