CALL TO ARTISTS - Design your own state flag!

Artists currently living in Oklahoma are invited to create a symbolic representation of their individual experience by designing a state flag for an Exhibition at City Arts Center ( Oklahoma City - State Fair Grounds).
Submissions may be in any media, 2-d or 3-d, and should be of moderate size ( suggested sizes are 18"x 30", or 24"x36", larger works will be considered, but space will be limited).
We especially encourage submissions by persons who may be considered "minority" voices, including but not limited to, women, Native Americans, spanish speakers, and immigrants from Asia. Artists working in fiber or textiles are also especially wanted.
Please respond as soon as you can to declare your interest in participating in this show. The Flags Exhibit will run concurrently with City Arts Center's "Our Town" exhibit exploring artists work about living in the Oklahoma City metro area.
Oklahoma Today magazine has expressed strong interest in publishing an exclusive feature on this exhibit. Hugh Meade and City Arts Center will work hard to promote this exhibit and generate sales for participating artists.
So consider your experiences here in Oklahoma and what kind of symbolic representation you might make of it. State seals or other "official" types of symbolic representations may be considered, as well, with preference given to flag designs.
