Jubilee Arts Festival Events
Jubilee Arts Festival has three events that offer artists a platform to celebrate Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee through their art:
Jubilee Art Gallery
Jubilee Film Festival
Jubilee Talent Showcase
Eligibility as an Artist
Ismailis and the interfaith spouses and children of Ismailis are eligible to participate as Artists in the Jubilee Arts Festival.
Theme
The overarching theme of Jubilee Arts Festival is the concept of Imamat and everything Mawlana Hazar Imam has done for the Jamat through the Institutions and other channels. This broad theme can be looked at as four topics through the eyes of the Jamat: Our Journey, Our Values, Our Spirituality and Our Gratitude.
Creative Prompts
Building on the broad theme, below are four creative prompts to guide artists in developing their submissions. Each submission should incorporate at least one of the four creative prompts: Time, Legacy, Aspiration, and Devotion.
Original Art / Timing of Creation
All art must be the original work of the Artists submitting the artwork. Submissions no longer have to be created after July 2017. Artists may choose to submit work that they have previously created at any time as long as it can be related to one of the four creative prompts.
How to Submit Your Art
Artist Application Form
Once you are ready to submit your work, please fill out the Artist Application form. This form will ask you to provide information about your Artwork, and about your team members if you are part of a group. You will need to provide links to photos or video of your art. Tips for uploading photos and video are in the FAQ below. After your Artist Application is submitted, the Jubilee Arts team will verify that your art meets the guidelines for participation in the festivals. If there are questions or concerns about the piece, a team member will contact you.
Festival Registration Form
After your art has been verified as meeting the guidelines, you and your team members (if you are part of a group) will receive an email request to register for your regional art festival. Each artist will be required to complete the registration form.
Deadline for Submissions: January 24, 2018
You will need to upload video of your submission to a hosting website like DropBox, Google Drive or YouTube. For the Art Gallery, you should upload a walk around video of your art as well as still pictures of your art from several angles. Video and pictures should be clear, high quality, and high resolution.
