Local Art Lift at Breakfast for the Arts

Now Accepting Artist Proposals

The Cabarrus Arts Council is seeking art proposals for the second year of Local Art Lift, a program that showcases original artwork as centerpieces for our annual fundraiser, Breakfast for the Arts.

Selected artists will each be commissioned to create 30 original pieces that will be featured on more than 80 tables during the event. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase the works, directly supporting both the artists and the Cabarrus Arts Council.

This is your chance to share your creativity, gain visibility, and help lift up the arts in Cabarrus County!

Selected artists receive an honorarium of $1500.
