🎨 ARTIST CALL — HONORING MISS WANDA
DC artists, we’re calling on you to help us celebrate a true icon of the city.
On September 12, we’re curating a special one-day art exhibition honoring Miss Wanda — a DC entrepreneurial icon whose legacy in the beauty industry represents far more than style. It represents Black creativity, ownership, culture, evolution, and the power to build something of your own.
We’re looking for artwork that explores themes of:
✨ Black beauty & the evolution of beauty in Black culture
🖤 Blackness, identity & self-expression
💄 Hair, beauty & cosmetics
👗 Fashion & personal style
🏛️ Washington, DC culture
💼 Black entrepreneurship & ownership
📸 The past, present & future of Black beauty
The exhibition will take place during ART ALL NIGHT at Sandlot Shaw & Howard, putting your work in front of one of DC’s biggest nights for art and culture.
This is not only an opportunity to exhibit — participating artists will also be able to sell their work during the event.
We welcome painters, photographers, illustrators, mixed-media artists, designers, and other visual artists to submit work that speaks to these themes.
Help us give Miss Wanda her flowers through art. 💐
