CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

A Change Is Gonna Come is an exhibition open to the general public featuring digitally projected handwritten words.  Borrowing from iconic singer/songwriter Sam Cooke’s 1965 hit by the same title, we invite you to find inspiration from his refrain:
It's been a long long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will!
Celebrating the beauty of the human hand on the page, we welcome your poems, letters, stories, essays, fiction, science fiction, memoir, monologues, dialogues, or other forms exploring the need for social change. 
Social change may be considered from any vantage point: local, global, social, political, economic, spiritual or other….Most of all, Let your muse lead you!
 
Exhibition Dates:  October 15-30, 2015
