VSA Texas and the Texas Council on Family Violence (TCFV) invites all artists with disabilities living in Texas to submit digital images of artwork to be considered for the cover art for the Allies to Survivors with Disabilities 2012 brochure. Entries should represent the theme of support and awareness for people with disabilities seeking services. Only one work of art will be chosen for the brochure. The artist whose artwork will be used will receive no monetary compensation, however the artist will receive credit on the brochure and could have their art showcased at future TCFV conferences.

THEME: "What Inspires Me"
Children are inspired by many things, from the people they meet, to the sounds they hear, to the sights they see. These moments of inspiration can motivate us to help others, improve ourselves, and dream about the future. This year's call for art, which launches on the birthday of the inspiring civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., invites students to reflect on what inspires them and share those inspirations through art!
