Announcement Details
Announcement Message
The Cow Palace will be hosting a brand-new youth arts event to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday in 2023.
The event is inspired by Dr. King's visit to the Cow Palace in 1964, his address to the Republican national convention, and the famous photograph taken during that speech. The inspiring image shows the civil rights leader under the spotlight while addressing the huge crowd on the issue of housing equity.
In this free, artistic competition, high school students are invited to share their own compelling message about issues that are important to them.
Contestants will create visual art, essays, poems, photographs, and videos in a respectful and inclusive way.
All work will be displayed at a reception to be held on Jan. 12 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Cow Palace. At this reception, all participants will be recognized for their work and the outstanding winners in each category will be announced.
Students and educators can also download the Exhibitors’ Guidebook and access the online entry form: https://www.cowpalace.com/events/2022/step-into-the-light
Deadline to enter contest: Dec. 21, 2022
