Victoria Conference Centre, June 4-6, 2009
The theme for this year's 2009 conference is Bringing the Pieces Together. Separated, the pieces of a puzzle can seem overwhelming and confusing. But as we rise to the challenge of putting the pieces together, it becomes an exiting journey towards something great.
The 2009 BCACL Conference Planning Committee is seeking submissions of artwork from artists with developmental disabilities. The theme of this year's conference is "Bringing the Pieces Together”. Separated, the pieces of a puzzle can seem overwhelming and confusing. But as we rise to the challenge of putting the pieces together, it becomes an exciting journey towards something great.
The artwork will be used on the cover of the 2009 Conference Program and on other promotional materials. The art must be created by a person with a developmental disability who is willing to give us permission to use the image of their artwork in these materials.
To submit a piece of art, send an e-mail that includes the artist's name and contact information and a scanned image or photo of the art to lseay@bcacl.org by December 15, 2008. You can also mail a photo with the artist's name and contact information to Lori Seay c/o BCACL, 227 6th Street New Westminster, BC V3L 3A5.
We will contact all artists who submitted images by January 8 to let them know what image the committee decides to use. The artist whose work is chosen will receive a free conference registration or an equal cash honorarium for the use of the image.
Please contact Lori Seay at 604-777-9100 ext. 529, if you have more questions. Visit our website at www.bcacl.org for more information as it becomes available. For more information on the Victoria Conference Centre, visit www.victoriaconference.com.
