If you are an artist who lives in Pennsylvania and has a disability, the Governor's Advisory Committee for People with Disabilities is looking for you.

 

The committee is looking to showcase people's talent through the Works for Me 2013 calendar. Click here to see last year's calendar.

 

Through this calendar, you can help raise awareness about employment supports for those who have a disability. This calendar will feature information about work incentives and will also include selected artwork.

 

Here are some guidelines if you or someone you know would like to submit artwork:

o   Photographs

o   Paintings (picture of)

o   Sculptures (picture of)

How you can send it:

o   Please send only the best picture for each artwork

o   Limit of one picture for each email
