MISSION STATEMENT:
The International Roots Project is a global community connecting women artists who focus on the natural world and the environment. We showcase diverse artwork that focuses on trees, their roots, and the interconnectedness of all living things. The supporting power of roots keeps us connected with each other, no matter where we live... through our roots, our heritage, our families, and our migrations. We plan to have a robust online presence through social media and on our website by mid-2024 in addition to creating a print catalog, facilitating regional exhibitions, and promoting global community.
CALL FOR ART:
The Roots International Art Project is seeking diverse artwork in all media from self-identified women and nonbinary artists whose art is inspired by the natural world, our shared planet. We are particularly interested in art that focuses on trees, their roots, and the interconnectedness of all living things. That can include works that focus on our connections with each other, no matter where we live... through our roots, our heritage, our families, and our migrations. We are committed to amplifying a wide variety of voices and viewpoints. Artwork acceptance and inclusion to this global art community will be moderated by Marguerite Elliot and Elizabeth Addison, San Francisco Bay Area visual artists and Roots International Art Project creators.
