REQUIREMENTS: Entry Fee for additional images: $2.00 per additional image Project to run from September 2019 to June 2020
POSTCARDS TO PACIFICA (P2P) Pacifica is a coastal town stretching six miles along the Pacific Ocean, with varied neighborhoods dissected by hills, valleys, and Highway 1. In a world where many don’t know their neighbors, Sanchez Art Center will provide a positive, fun, safe, creative, and memorable way for people in the community to engage with each other. Bay Area artists (ages 9 and up) are invited to submit original art that represents Pacifica’s nine neighborhoods:
The entry deadline is August 20, 11 pm Pacific Daylight Time. Entries will be reviewed by Sanchez Art Center (SAC) staff, and $100 will be awarded to each of the nine selected artists. At least one award will be made to an artist 17 or younger. SAC will then print the award-winning works in postcard format. SAC will distribute these at various community events through June 2020, asking community members to write on the card back what they love about their neighborhoods. SAC will share these Postcards to Pacifica at various events, online and on social media, and even through old-fashioned snail mail, bringing connection through the inspiring art and words of our neighbors.
ABOUT SANCHEZ ART CENTER The mission of Sanchez Art Center is to create community through art. Established in 1996 when artists and community members converted an old school into a multi-use arts complex, Sanchez Art Center offers a comfortable and welcoming place for the community to come together, engage, and be enriched by the arts. Today the Pacifica Center for the Arts campus includes 3 galleries, 19 art studios, the Mary Harris Arts Education Room, and the Mildred Owen Concert Hall. Sanchez Art Center, a 501(c)3 organization, provides free exhibitions and talks by emerging and established West Coast artists, education and engagement opportunities designed to make art accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, and affordable art studios for San Francisco Bay Area artists.

CaFETM accepts Visa and Mastercard. Checks should be made payable to and mailed to Sanchez Art Center well before the entry deadline. ENTRIES Images will be entered as jpeg files, and these will be used by SAC to print the postcards. Artists retain their original artworks.
