The SAFE Cities movement, hosted by Stand.earth, seeks artists to create graphic art that inspires and engages millions of people around the world in our critical mission. SAFE Cities works with neighbors, local groups, and elected officials to phase out toxic fossil fuels and fast-track clean energy solutions in communities.
Invitation
We invite you to imagine, design, and create graphic art that shows your vision of a community that’s tackling the climate emergency and social injustice head-on by saying no to the expansion of the fossil fuel industry and yes to a just energy transition and a healthy and safe future. Your art will be used to catalyze action in communities across the US and around the world, and will potentially be seen by millions of people.
Art chosen from submissions will be featured on our website and social media, and may be included in other SAFE Cities materials. We are looking for graphic art only at this time. Please do not submit other kinds of art, including songs or videos, right now. They can’t be considered in this call.
