The Emerging Artist Touring Exhibit is a juried exhibit that features artists of all ages and every level of experience from all over the state. Each fall VSA arts of Michigan sends out a Call for Art to art teaches, special educators and individual artists with disabilities. The deadline for submitting artwork is the second Friday of January: A committee of professional arts and former arts educators adjudicate the exhibit. Each year over 150 works of art are submitted, and approximately 50 are chosen, included works created by elementary aged children, and secondary aged youth, and adults.
The Emerging Artists Exhibit tours to schools libraries, arts and community centers, hospitals, nursing homes, malls, and other public venues, and is available for arts, education, and disability conferences throughout the year. Hosts can choose to exhibit all of the works or designate one or two age groups.
