Lyme Awareness Art Project Submission Guidelines The guidelines for submitting your story and photo are simple; if you or a person you love has advanced Lyme Disease write a short paragraph or poem describing your experience with Advanced/Chronic/Neurotoxic Lyme and send a photo that you feel visually expresses the experience you have written about. You are not telling your whole Lyme history in this paragraph just a verbal snapshot in time that expresses your experience. Include your first name, your age and the city and state you live in. I will paint my interpretation of the submissions for what I hope will be a traveling Lyme Awareness show. You can look at the sample paragraphs and paintings on my website at
www.crowhousestudio.com Please send photos as JPEG files.
I will go through the stories and photos and see which ones I feel will translate into the most powerful “Lyme Story” paintings. It is my hope to continue adding paintings to the show over the next 1-2 years. That’s a lot of paintings and I need your stories and faces to do it.
When I have enough paintings completed for a show I will be looking for galleries and businesses that are interested in hosting the show and helping me publicize it to raise Lyme awareness. Although the primary goal, at least initially, is not to sell the paintings right away but to keep them together as a traveling show as long as possible to raise Lyme awareness, there will be signed giclee prints of each painting available for sale and I plan to donate a portion of any profits to Lyme research and I will ask my galleries to do the same. The hope is that funds raised by selling the prints and from donations will pay for the supplies and costs related to the project.
IMPORTANT: The poems/paragraphs and photos will be displayed with the paintings so please tell me if you want to remain anonymous and I will leave your name blank. You may also choose not to show your face in the photo by having your face away from the camera such as bowed down or turned away. Feel free to email me with questions.
