Calling all Philly artists!
Whether you are well established, an emerging artist, or just make art in your spare time, this announcement is for you! Philadelphia’s Office of Sustainability is now accepting art submissions to be included in the 2nd edition of the Greenworks Review magazine.
Philadelphia’s Office of Sustainability is responsible for implementing Greenworks, Philadelphia’s comprehensive plan for a more equitable, healthy, and environmentally-just city.
Greenworks Review is our annual recap of progress made by our office and by residents and community groups all across the city in making Philadelphia a sustainable city for all. Greenworks Review features tips to live more sustainably, interviews with activists and changemakers from across the city, and helpful guides and resources.
Philadelphia artists of all ages and experience levels are encouraged to submit an art piece in response to the prompt. Selected artworks will be featured in our Greenworks Review magazine and our social media accounts. Please note that there is no compensation for art submissions but the artist selected to design the cover art will be compensated. Please reach out to us at Sustainability@phila.gov if you have any questions.
