The MRA and Capital Bank are sponsoring the First Annual Midtown Banner Art Contest. The MRA currently places banners in 26 locations of Midtown along St. Albans Road, Wake Forest Road and Six Forks Road. Our current design is a simple graphic with the words Midtown Raleigh diagonally across a multi-colored background. Upon the completion of the Banner Art Contest, the winning design will be printed on banners and hung in place of the current banners. The contest winner will be awarded a cash prize of $1000. (This same type of banner art contest was done about 10 years ago along Blount Street by the Downtown Raleigh Alliance.) Online information can be found here.

In the second partnership between VAE and the National Humanities Center, NHC questioned VAE on building a show that envelops the concept of “transference of knowledge”. That question took over a weekly staff meeting and lead to a long discussion on what does that mean, what does that look like, and how is that implemented. As a staff, VAE has backgrounds in traditional education through teaching in public schools and universities, professional facilitation, and then our own experiences in secondary education. That conversation went in an array of directions from that obvious first thought of traditional education to those experiences that not only teach but shape one, such as standing next to a mother or grandparent as the cook. Does the concept of teaching, learning, and passing down knowledge change when its outside of a system? What if that system is broken for a certain group? How can or do people and communities respond when they find that system lacking or possibly not there? That spectrum of possibilities for teaching, learning, and passing on knowledge is what we asked artists to try to represent through their own practices or experiences.

VAE is seeking submissions that consider knowledge - how we gain it, how we use it, and the systems that create it. No Citation Needed will be on exhibit at the National Humanities Center from January 15 thru July 15.
We encourage you to submit entries that consider learning, education, and the transfer of knowledge. How do you learn? Where do you learn? How do you learn outside of formal education settings? How did you acquire the life skills you use in your everyday life? This exhibition is meant to build environment of knowledge and promote the humanities.

See(d) the Future features the many artistic forms of Afrofuturism, from the every day to the fantastical, across disciplines.
We are looking to explore Afrofuturism across arts disciplines. Visual artists making 2-D or 3-D work, filmmakers, writers, musicians, fashion designers and costume artists are all welcome. We are most interested in your content; it must have a connection to Afrofuturism and be made by an artist of the African diaspora
