CALL FOR FEMALE ARTISTS

Behind the Global Woman’s Gaze – An Annual Art Exhibition
International Women’s Day– March 8, 2025

Clarkston Community Center (CCC) invites female artists to submit their work for an exclusive art exhibition celebrating International Women’s Day. This event highlights the creativity, resilience, and talent of minority women artists from Clarkston and Atlanta, Georgia.

This exhibition serves as a hub for women artists to showcase their work, connect with the community, and gain recognition. It also provides an opportunity for the community to come together, reduce social distance, combat isolation, and foster meaningful connections.
