Subject: NM Arts and NM Department of Cultural Affairs seek artists for 2022 NM-themed activity book

Dear Friends,

I am writing to ask you to share the news that The Art in Public Places Program of New Mexico Arts and the NM Department of Cultural Affairs (NMDCA) seek to commission up to 26 New Mexican artists to create coloring page illustrations for a New Mexico-themed activity book. The project will create a multi-lingual, multi-cultural New Mexico-themed alphabet coloring book to further early childhood literacy. The application deadline is March 18, 2022.

Each illustration will represent a letter of the alphabet with an accompanying short sentence. To support and encourage cultural diversity, artists are encouraged to embrace their own native languages and culture in determining which letters and words they would like to illustrate.

Open to artists working in New Mexico, the program will pay artists $1,000 per completed illustration. Details regarding project intent, eligibility, selection process and criteria, submission requirements, and the project timeline can be found at https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=9571.

The 2022 NMDCA Activity Book project will distribute more than 10,000 books across the state through local libraries and community organizations. The book will also be available for digital download.

The 2021 activity book is still available for download at dcaeducates.nmculture.org/dca-activity-book/<https://dcaeducates.nmculture.org/sdm_downloads/dca-activity-book/>.
