APP LINK -- https://www.saveartspace.org/immigrant-nostalgia -- SaveArtSpace is proud to present Immigrant Childhood & Our Nostalgia, a public art exhibition on billboard ad space in Los Angeles, CA, starting June 16, 2025, curated by Johanna Toruño. I am envisioning this open call to welcome art by immigrants and children of immigrants especially those whose childhood was shaped around their own migration or their parents and how regardless of our differences many of us agree that we share so many unique experiences. Sometimes its the calling cards our parents used to use or a banana liquado after school or the nostalgia of a tia's living room where many celebrations and holidays were spent in rooms and houses decorated by new and old customs, panaderia calendars, and images of la virgen de guadalupe on the walls - there is so much beauty in the way our families created new normal and new homes with community. Whatever this means to you and your Art I'd love to see it and celebrate in large in the public spaces we love and exist in. We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between March 14 and May 5, 2025. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on billboard ad space in Los Angeles, CA. Open call for art ends May 5, 2025. There is a $10 donation per image submission to participate, each donation is tax deductible and goes to producing the public art. Selected artists will be announced after May 19, 2025. Public art will be installed June 16, 2025 in Los Angeles, CA.
