Art for Dignity and Justice
I had the great privilege to create a piece on behalf of the Collier County Neighborhood Stories Project for the October 5th National Day of Action March for Dignity and Justice! The piece is currently featured on Culture Strike and Not1MoreDeportation. We, as CCNSP, are very humbled to be able be part of such a pivotal moment for our communities and we will continue demanding dignity and justice for as long as it takes! We hope to see you all out on October 5th, too!

Meet 2012 Artivism Contest Winner: Alexis Meza!
The CCNSP team chose the winner for the 1st Annual Artivism Contest last year! The winner was chosen from anonymous cast ballots from team members of the Project. For her outstanding artwork, CCNSP awarded Alexis with $200 towards her creative endeavors. In return, Alexis gave us the rights to her artwork for future reproduction.
Here’s her beautiful masterpiece:
Alexis had this to say:
“As an undocumented artivist, I am happy to know that my art has no borders and is able to transmit the messages I personally put in them. Thank you for recognizing my art, and for choosing it to be the winner. I hope that more opportunities like this keep coming in the future, the uncodu-artists like myself appreciate them very much! ”
CCNSP would like to thank all of our contest participants for submitting amazing art that lifts up our immigrant communities! Thank you for your creativity, passion and imagination!
EXTENDED DEADLINE OCT 15!!! Alza Tu Voz: “Our Immigrant Communities” Art Contest
Calling all artists!
About the Art Show
The Collier County Neighborhood Stories Project will be hosting its first ever art exhibit series showcasing the work of socially conscious artists from Florida and beyond. This show will serve as a fundraiser for our community bail and service fund.
The art exhibit will be a series of shows across the Naples and Immokalee area that will start in November. The shows are themed “Our Immigrant Communities” and artists are to connect their pieces to interpret the meaning of that phrase.
Details on the Submission of Art Pieces
We are calling all artists, far and wide, to submit and donate art pieces using any type of medium. Be it painting, photography, sculpture, digital graphic, drawing- we want to showcase it! The pieces will be sold with all proceeds going to our community bail and service fund to establish immediate financial support for families that cannot afford bail for their loved ones in detention.
We humbly ask artists to donate their pieces in order to make this fundraiser a success. Please contact Alicia at alicia@collierstoriesmatter.org if you have questions regarding the submission of pieces.
Theme: Our Immigrant Communities
All pieces should tie back to the main theme and artists should expand on their own interpretation of images that show opposition to the unjust deportations of individuals in our community and that also show hope for a new future by fighting back. All artists will be showcased for their work with the possibility of possible reproduction of any digital works or paintings that have uplifting and positive undertones. Organizations in the state will be invited to bid on some of the works for possible poster reproduction.
Types of mediums (not an exhaustive list). Whatever you submit must be your own creation:
- Drawing/painting
- Sculpting
- Music
- Poetry/Spoken Word
- Jewerly
- Pottery
- Wood Work
You can enter anything you created with your own two hands and that stands for something. We are open to anything!
