The City of Cambridge, Massachusetts, invites artists to submit qualifications to be eligible for a $300,000 public art commission to commemorate the passage, in August 1920, of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted women the right to vote and resulted in the largest one-time addition to the American electorate, yet also left most women of color without access to the ballot box. A successful project will acknowledge the amendment’s complex history, its ongoing work in the shaping of American democracy, and the role of Cambridge women in the women’s suffrage movement.

See the Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Public Art Project Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for full details (attached).

 

The deadline for this call-to-artists is September 30, 2019 at 5 p.m. EST.
