Artist Call: The House on Mango Project

 

Linked2Literacy invites artists to be part of The House on Mango Project, a city-wide art project inspired by The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros.

We are looking for artists of all kinds—visual art, poets, photography, sculpture, mixed media, or installation—who want to share work inspired by the book’s ideas of home, identity, community, and growing into yourself.

Artists are encouraged to read at least part of the book to help connect their work to the stories and themes.
