What is MIA?

Movement in Art (MIA) is a novel project from RISE Chattanooga and local artists that will amplify the voices of Chattanooga-area artists creating socially-conscious work. The project is open to all artists and media. In order to reflect the grassroots nature of social movements, the featured work will be chosen by community members and displayed on Chattanooga storefronts, billboards, and social media platforms. Honorable mentions will be selected to present on the MIA Instagram page. #MIACHA

The theme for this round is "IDENTITY: WHO ARE YOU?" In honor of Black History Month, Team RISE is challenging artists to present artwork that speaks to the many ways human beings walk through the world. Artists are encouraged to submit work that focuses on identity--cultural, ethnic, gender, professional, or any others that inspire you to create. Interested artists will submit a single work under this theme to be eligible for selection and presentation.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28 AT MIDNIGHT. ALL WINNERS WILL RECEIVE NOTIFICATION ON FRIDAY, MARCH 5TH.

Top 5 (five) finalists will receive $100.00 cash award.
Up to ten (10) other submissions will be awarded $25.00 and receive honorable mentions for their work.
