Opportunity for local artists to feature art at Meijer Stores

Meijer recently announced plans to launch a special collection in stores across the Midwest in 2023, featuring art by local artists that’s inspired by diverse outlooks and communities. The retailer is encouraging artists to submit their artwork for consideration by Nov. 7.

Artists who live in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin are encouraged to submit art inspired by the cultural categories below. Meijer will then select artwork to be featured on products, including stationery and home decor, and sold in celebration of the following cultural events beginning in 2023:

· Black History Month

· Women’s History Month

· Pride Month

· Hispanic Heritage Month

Artists can also submit locally-inspired art to be included in the collection.

Sales from the collection will benefit nonprofit organizations. Selected artists will receive a monetary prize and partner with Meijer to identify nonprofits to benefit from the sales of the products.

Artists must submit their art for consideration by Sunday, Nov. 7 here.
