Open Call: Military Brats – Art about the Military Child Experience

MILITARY BRATS: ART ABOUT THE MILITARY CHILD EXPERIENCE – Open Call!:

The WMAI invites all youth (ages 5+), adolescent, and adult children of active duty or retired service members, veterans and reservists to submit a single artwork.

The exhibition features work representing military children, affectionately known as “military brats,” a badge of honor that describes life in a military family – multiple moves, new beginnings, stressors, deployments-an overall culturally unique experience differing from civilian life as expressed through original artwork in various art media, materials, and processes.

WMAI would like to provide insight into the lives of military children by opening the conversation about who they are and have become because of their military childhood. The purpose of the show is to create a space for expression and reflection for military children while sharing and engaging with the campus and larger community.

A short bio will be included with the artwork highlighting the child’s military and artistic background. Submission deadline: March 27!

We open this exhibition during the month of April, Military Child Month and National Military Brats Day (April 30) to raise awareness about the ongoing sacrifices and service military children contribute to society and the artistic community.

The exhibition will open April 11th and continue until May 23rd.
