Appleton Awareness Gallery Calls for Creative Art to Be Featured in Zebra Coalition Exhibition

Appleton Creative designed the Appleton Awareness Gallery to raise awareness and support for local causes through art. For the upcoming exhibit, Appleton is enlisting the creative expertise of local traditional medium artists to highlight the youth supported by the Zebra Coalition. The Zebra Coalition is a network of organizations that provide services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and all youth (LGBT+) ages 13 to 24.

As a community-driven organization, we’re opening our exhibit to local artists to help raise awareness for the Zebra Coalition’s cause and for the artistic community as a whole. The work chosen for the gallery should be relevant to the organization’s mission and make a powerful statement to the public about the Zebra Coalition. Art must meet the following requirements to be considered for entrance.
