This exhibition, opening during Canadian Jewish Heritage month in May 2021, will provide an opportunity to promote the history of the Canadian Armed Forces through art.

The submission must include: a maximum 500-word artist’s statement describing the proposed 2D digital artwork, a link to your website or 10 examples of previous work and a curriculum vitae.

More details are available on the She Also Serves website. Closing date for submissions is Thursday, December 31, 2020. Please send submissions and any questions to Jennifer Eiserman at canadianjewishservicewomen@gmail.com.
