Call for Submissions: Art, Photography & Poetry by Coney Island Kids

Children's call for entries

This season the Coney Island History Project is presenting "Coney Island Kids See Coney Island! Art, Photography and Poetry." Young people who live or go to school in Coney Island and are currently in grades K-12 are invited to be part of a special exhibit featuring their perceptions of their neighborhood. Artwork, photos, and short poems are featured in a digital slide show and a rotating display of original work at the Coney Island History Project's free exhibit center. Work will also be shown online via CIHP's flickr photo sharing page and Facebook.

Artists and their families will be invited to a special event at the Coney Island History Project in the fall to celebrate the exhibit and will receive a limited edition souvenir badge.
