“Blood on The Pavement” is seeking local Twin Cities artists! Scheduled to open May 2022, the exhibit will focus on addressing violence against black bodies, both verbally and physically, from micro aggressions to police brutality. The exhibit will also explore violence against women’s bodies and those identifying as women, as well as other intersections of identity.

“Blood On The Pavement” is open to 2D or 3D works from artists of all backgrounds, but will give priority to voices from BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

Each artist will receive $100 to participate and 100% of the proceeds , if sold.

Artists will create work reacting to poems written by the organizer and project manager, Ashley Richardson. Please note there is no “correct” interpretation of the poems. The organizer is simply looking for artists to create pieces that express the feelings and thoughts inspired by her words.
