Woody Guthrie's song, This Land is Your Land, was written to remind us that our country, with all its opportunity, and potential, belongs to all of us, not just the privileged few.

For this show, we encourage artists to show us America through their unique lens. Guthrie performed all across the USA, so his song is also a travelogue describing places he had been: California, The New York (Staten) Island, the redwood forest, the Gulf stream waters, golden valley, diamond deserts, and wheat fields. Perhaps you can find inspiration there.

Visual art, music, written/spoken word, and dance art forms are encouraged.

We invite artists to submit 1-2 pieces.
