For the Fall 2020 Art & Design Departmental Charrette, students are to create a work of art or design with the theme of promoting voter registration and equity in voting practices, or celebrating the centennial of women’s voting rights.
“In 2020, AIGA recognizes the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote in 1920 with a special edition of Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote. It commemorates the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of all women protected and enforced.”
From AIGA: https://www.aiga.org/vote
Some ideas you might explore include: get out the vote, why vote?, facts or infographics on voting, unintended consequences of not voting, etc. Please be creative but sensitive to the subject matter. The work should be bipartisan, i.e. not for or against any one party or candidate. Imagery in art and design can still be very persuasive, even when presented in an unbiased way.
Posters received by these deadlines will have the greatest impact:
- September 22 National Voter Registration Day
- October 24 Vote Early Day
- Charrette works will not be accepted after October 24th at 11:59pm
Dimensions: 11”x17”, vertical preferred but horizontal accepted
Submit your Charrette work:
- To AIGA at https://www.aiga.org/vote
- To the VSU A+D Department by submitting via Blackboard
