Artistic masks at Curated Storefront on exhibit, for sale
If anybody knows how to put some fun into having to wear masks during the coronavirus pandemic, it looks like Curated Storefront does.
The organization is hosting MASK-R-AID, an online exhibition of artistic yet functional masks that kicks off Friday and runs through Sept. 25. At 6 p.m. Friday, the organization will announce live on its Facebook page its first- through third-place mask design winners, who will receive cash awards of $2,500, $1,000 and $300.
Call for Artists: MASK-R-AID
In response to the CDC's recommendation for people to wear masks in public and as COVID-19 continues to impact the arts ecosystem, Curated Storefront announces a call for artists to create functional masks to be put into production, sold online at www.CuratedStorefront.org, and exhibited at a Curated Storefront site.
Curated Storefront’s mission is to support the creative economy by continuing to provide artists with a source of income. Half of the proceeds from sales will go back to artists directly with the remainder benefiting Curated Storefront. This puts great art in the hands and on the faces of the public while helping them to stay safe.
