CaFÉ Spotlights Artists in the Western Region
[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text] 2019 has been full of changes for CaFÉ! Recently, we launched our new homepage, which includes images of artwork from around the United States. Now, we are excited to launch our new call, Way Out West: CaFÉ Featured Artwork—the first in a series of ongoing calls that will highlight CaFÉ artists from across the country.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Artists working in any artistic discipline who live and work within the western region are encouraged to apply. The western region includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawai‘i, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]As part of the WESTAF (Western States Arts Federation) family, CaFÉ focused this call on celebrating the artwork and culture of the West. WESTAF weaves technology, diverse thought leadership, and innovation to energize, network, and fund public sector arts agencies and communities.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Early in the formation of the organization, WESTAF focused on policy and advocacy efforts to create a unified voice for the arts in the West. Today, WESTAF has become a model for other regional arts organizations by focusing on technology, strong leadership, creative programming, and advocacy efforts.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-14-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]CaFÉ’s work feeds into the mission of WESTAF with 30,000 active CaFÉ artists in the western states. The majority of these artists call California, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and New Mexico home. Drawing, photography, sculpture, painting, and public art are among the artistic disciplines with the greatest number of artists in the region.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”3/4″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”2098″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][vc_column_text]
