In/finite Earth asks emerging artists to showcase work that
illuminates innovative viewpoints at the intersection of
environmentalism, creativity, and disability.
Regardless of continent, country, or culture, over six billion people
draw sustenance from the shared resources of our planet, repercussions
for which are still unfolding. In/finite Earth is a call to artists to
engage in the physical, emotional, and creative ties we share across our
planet, and present their artistic perspectives regarding the natural
world, sustainability, and our collective future.
Submitted artwork should illustrate these thematic ideas, which may be
achieved through broad, abstracted references or detailed personal
creations. Your submission might also reflect your experience of living
with a disability and its role in shaping or transforming your art.
This exhibition is presented by the Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts’ VSA & Accessibility Office and Volkswagen Group of America,
Inc.

Fifteen artists will be selected for the exhibition and will share
$60,000 in cash awards: a $20,000 grand prize, a $10,000 first award, a

The exhibition takes place at the Smithsonian Institution’s S. Dillon
Ripley Center in Washington, D.C., from September 2013 to December 2012
