“One to Six”

$900 Art Purchase Competition

Deadline Nov 13

No entry fee, submit your artwork!

(Lawton, OK) There is now an open call for artwork to be considered for the “One to Six” Art Purchase Award. The Lawton Arts & Humanities Council’s Program Committee serves as jury for this purchase of six artworks from one artist. The works of art in turn are presented to the six people who win the 2009 Cultural Awards.

The award is $900.00 for the six pieces. The theme is open but should be appropriate to the Cultural Awards. All artists are eligible with only six (6) works allowed per artists. There is no entry fee!

Past artists recipients of the “One to Six” have been Cynthia Clay, David Gill, Katherine Liontas, Eva Yeahquo-Williams, and John Hernandez just to name a few! City of Lawton and the Lawton Arts & Humanities Council sponsor this art purchase award. Call the Arts & Humanities Division at 580-581-3470/581-3471 for more information.
