For the ACCC Pandemic Arts Journal 2020

Send us Your Literary Work, Images of Your Visual Arts, Your Music!  The ACCC is creating a very special project called the ACCC Pandemic Arts Journal. This will be a collection of creative work from artists, writers, musicians and songwriters, and others in the region as well as a historical record of the abounding creativity in Carver County during these uncertain times. We will add to it over the course of 2020 as we adjust to these times.

We invite all Visual Artists, Writers, Songwriters, and Musicians, young and young at heart, to submit your responses to the COVID- 19 pandemic. Your work will be published on the ACCC website as part of our ACCC Pandemic Arts Journal page. Your creative expression will become part of a collective work expressing your thoughts, emotions, inspirations, etc. throughout the year. The journal will provide an artistic perspective on what is happening during this time.

Email your submission to PAJournal@artsofcarvercounty.org. By submitting your information, you agree to allow the Arts Consortium of Carver County to publish your work on our website and allow the ACCC to use your images and recordings for social media and other marketing purposes in the future.  All other rights after publication are yours.
