How Do You Create a Portrait of a City?

We encourage you to think experimentally and critically about the nature of portraiture and welcome submissions in any medium - drawing, painting, sound, photography, animation, film, sculpture, installations, and digital art. We want it all!

Here are some questions from the Teen Board to help get you started:

• Is a city defined by its buildings and architecture, or by the people who live there?
• What are the layers to New Orleans' history?
• Do you see yourself reflected in the city, and where? If not, why?
• What is the relationship between artists and the city?
• Who is our city for?
• Our culture is infinite and crosses every border. How, then, do we define it?

Submission Requirements

• Submission must include a high resolution, well lit photograph of your artwork
• Dimensions must be listed in inches (width x height)
• Submission must include your name, grade, school, email address and phone number
• Please include the medium (for ex., oil on canvas)
• You must be a highschool student

* You may submit up to three pieces.
