A Time for Heroes; Hildegard Center for the Arts Calling Visual Media Artists

Posted by: Hildegard Center for the Arts

A Time for Heroes is a project designed to teach what a true hero is and to help identify Heroes in our midst through a variety of events.  One aspect of this project is a visual art and writing competition called Heroes Among Us. Lesson plans will be detsributed to teachers within a 50-mile radius of Lincoln, NE to be used to help students in grades 6 -12 think on this idea and then create their own works to honor these often unsung members of our communities.  As part of the lesson plans, students will be exposed to a selection of art, both visual and written, by professional artists who have created works based on this theme of Heroes.

CALL Winners: Artists selected from this Call will have a curriculum created around their artwork by a professional Teaching Artist from the Lincoln Center Institute in New York.  Atists may also be asked to speak with educators and/or students concerning their creative process.  The artwork will be presented to students in and around Nebraska and be "on loan" for 18 months.   Heroes Among Us is a collaborative project between Hildegard Center for the Arts and Arts Are Basic.
