C4 Atlanta Holding Health and Wellness Art Exhibit

Atlanta-based non-profit arts service organization, C4 Atlanta Inc. is holding an open call for artists for its Triage Art Exhibit 2014 project.

The exhibit's theme is art that explores health and wellness. Selected art works will be on exhibition at the Fuse Arts Center from Jan. 24 through Feb. 8, 2014.

The call for artists will remain open through January 5, 2014. Up to 20 artists will be selected for the exhibition. Participants at the closing event on Feb. 8 will have the opportunity to vote for the “Best in Show” piece. The selected artist will receive a $100 gift certificate to Binders Art Supplies.

“I am pleased to build new opportunities for Atlanta artists,” Deborah Sosower, C4 Atlanta's program manager said in a statement.

“My personal health over the years has affected both my artwork and my ability to create art. I am excited to help plan an event for local artists that will positively shape their professional development even as it impacts their physical well-being.”

A cultural activist for more than three decades, Shaw is currently the Curator of the David J. Sencer CDC Museum at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
