Perteneces Aquí / You Belong Here: Call for Latino Artists
Julia de Burgos Cultural Arts Center is commissioning eight Latino artists to create 2D visual artworks for our upcoming summer exhibition, Perteneces Aquí / You Belong Here.
Inspired by The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, the exhibition will explore themes of belonging, identity, memory, home, and self-discovery through contemporary visual art.
Application Materials are due May 19th, 2026
Open Call for Latina Writers: Latinas, Food, and Flash Fiction
Tell your story through microcuentos: short flash fiction exploring identity, heritage, and the Latina experience through food.
Selected writings will be published in a bilingual anthology (English and Spanish), accompanied by original illustrations created by local Latina artists. The completed publication will also be presented as part of an exhibition in Spring of 2027 at Case Western Reserve University.
Writings are due May 30th, 2026.
