Call for Artists: Art of Breastfeeding

BreastfeedMIAMI invites you to participate in our Art of Breastfeeding Event, as part of our annual

National Breastfeeding Awareness Month and Black Breastfeeding Week celebrations in August 2022. A

community collaborative to educate, support, and promote breastfeeding, BreastfeedMIAMI prioritizes

empowering mothers, fathers, partners, and families to breastfeed children throughout Miami-Dade

County. This collaborative is supported by Kiwanis of Northeast Miami-Dade, Florida Department of

Health’s Miami Dade WIC Program, The Children’s Movement of Florida, and 18 other partners to date.

As we continue to celebrate the beauty and diversity of breastfeeding families in Miami-Dade County

through artistic expression, especially among those from diverse backgrounds with a primary focus on

Black breastfeeding women, we also invite artists to consider external barriers faced by breastfeeding

families that may also serve as opportunities for desired policy, systems, and/or environmental changes.

We seek local artists like yourself to create and share artwork in any form, style, and medium (oil,

charcoal, photography, digital, body art, etc.), featuring families engaging in breastfeeding, chestfeeding,

and/or pump-feeding with their child(ren).

If selected, your work will be showcased in virtual and traditional settings for our community to enjoy

throughout the month of August and into 2023. Artists may auction or sell the selected pieces, and

donate a percentage of the sales to BreastfeedMIAMI efforts.

The deadline for artwork submissions is Sunday, July 17th.
