CAFTCAD Visual Diversity Statement Submissions

 CAFTCAD Visual Diversity Statement Submissions

Our mission is to develop an inclusive, equal, and diverse community of costume professionals to be treated with respect and grow together from one another. As such we’d like to design a visual interpretation illustrating CAFTCAD’s diverse community that will be shared to promote inclusivity and diversity at upcoming CAFTCAD events, social media, and on our website.

We would love to get our members to contribute and receive your input on “What Diversity Means to You?” and “What Image Comes to Mind When You Think of Diversity?” Your involvement will make this all the more meaningful. If you would like to participate, submit a visual piece that represents you, your community, or what diversity means to you. In the format of a photo, illustration, piece of art, photo of a garment, or any other visual medium that can be digitally shared with us. If you are not visually artistic, but you would like to share your ideas, please express them via written form. 

We ask that all submissions are square in dimension and must be either a JPEG, PNG, or PDF file. Please send your submissions to tessa@caftcad.com by August 24, 2021 at the latest.
