The woman in the painting with her face blurred represents how others don't see her and are only able to see the stereotype that many place upon her being. Also, the blurred face indicates that her existence has been devalued. The stereotype is portrayed as a "void", with her identity reduced to a list of characteristics that others assume her to be. The general concept of the painting is to emphasize what has been accomplished toward what can be for all segments of our society. The pages behind her and the figure are a testament to the power of words that can be achieved when many speak with wisdom and combine the pride of all of us who agree with the beliefs of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We could break the societal stereotypes placed upon the people who are looked down on. It is time for our country to acknowledge the oppression of the past and engage in the capacity for change to unite our humanity for today and the future. As the healing begins, the character of all people will fill out her face of injustice. Acceptance and comradeship, which bind the value of each human, will fill in the faces of those who have not been valued, including her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696962969026-9ZLUJP7KEGMVDT0AJUBI/Untitled_Artwork+-+ZeNN+27.jpg MLK Art Contest - "Helping Hands" by Travon Hoskins 2023 Adult Winner My piece is titled “A Helping Hand,” a piece of media that represents the idea of racial injustice; as well as the main concept shown through my vision and pen work. To start off, gazing upon my piece you notice there are two arms that seem to be holding onto one another as if someone is rescuing another. The arm in the bottom right corner is my imagery of our nation which represents multiple shades of color, to depict minorities; and chains are the imagery of racial stereotypes that hold people of color down into the black sand beneath the arm which is the “quicksand,” of racial injustice. Also on this arm are a few names of two celebrities that model our communities in a public light Xxxtentacion, Juice world, victims of police brutality George Floyd and Korryn Gaines. The top left hand is another depiction of all people of different shades uplifting those who society wants to be held down to be judged as nothing more than a people of stereotypes or unequal in value. As it relates to the theme, we must lift others and ourselves from the stigmas that were created from the masses; which is a task that will take the efforts of all, especially our fellow brothers in arms in order to begin anew. A majority of minorities must fight this idea of injustice, but it’s also upon those in the spotlight to show the world that we’re more than just gangsters, rappers, or victims https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696962808701-9Q9JDQGDBOGHXL9F5WZW/Ola+Flores+MLK+Art+Contest+Final+copy+-+S+Van+Horn+%281%29.jpg MLK Art Contest - MLK in the News Grade 6-8 Using torn newspaper, I created a collage with an overlay image of Martin Luther King Jr. and a quote attributed to him, that also serves as the theme of the art contest, “Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.” I choose to use newspapers because MLK would often be in the news regarding the Civil Rights Movement and through reading papers with articles about him, readers were informed about racial and social injustices during his lifetime. Our country still faces issues of such injustices and I hope that my artwork invites the viewers to discuss how his moment in time relates to current events. Also, learning that MLK said, “the solid rock of brotherhood,” as meaning without God and each other, we are doomed. Our lives and freedoms are bound together and if we do not help solve racial injustices, we will all be doomed. That leads to the line that follows the theme quote, “Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children.,” which I firmly believe in https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696963005065-053MK6KMMV6JSVF6S967/Stand+Up+-+Annelise+Jeitschko.jpg MLK Art Contest - "Stand Up" by Annelise Jeitschko 2023 Grade 9-12 Honorable Mention This Martin Luther King Jr. quote is extremely meaningful to me and to us all: social injustice is ever present in our world today. In articulating the quote through my art, I first started with the “solid rock of brotherhood” and then drew a void around it. The void represents “racial injustice.” I then drew the “quicksand” and added chains that are yanking people back into it. The people on the rock are helping others and they represent “Now is the time to lift our nation.” Lastly, I wanted not only to have the rock itselfas the solid rock of brotherhood, but also as a beacon of hope, with the flag being seen far and wide. I wanted the background to go from a bright yellow to a dark color close to the void of quicksand to make it seem that there is light shining on the rock and the people to give an even deeper feeling of hope to those who may be experiencing racial injustice. I called my piece “Stand Up,” a song that appeared in the movie “Harriet.” The movie (and song) is basically about how Harriet is going to revolt against the racism directed against her and her fellow African Americans, how they are done living as slaves, and how they try to escape to a better life: “That’s when I'm gonnastand up, take my people with me. Together we are going to a brand newhome.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696963054549-NPTWLPISGWI33H3D8FJ2/Margot+Cornelius.jpg MLK Art Contest - "Lifting up the next generation" by Levi Ezekiel Cornelius 2023 Grade 6-8 Honorable Mention https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696964636668-ZA56IN97H4VPZAPGU33J/brayden+art+work+-+Carla+Boyce.jpg MLK Art Contest - "There is always too sides" by Brayden Nelson Grade 6-8 “Me are drawing that I present to you today, is called " there's always two sides." This can be taken a couple of different ways. For instance, as everyone knows there's always two sides to every story. My art shows two different faces, one side that has a mask, that goes with one side can be covered up and masked, the other is original true and open. To relate to the theme, it is for sure now time to lift this nation for the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. There shouldn’t be a difference in one another, we’re all the same is most ways. Yes, some of us might be brought up differently or have a rough path growing up, but our hearts be the same, we bleed the same color blood. I believe no matter what color your skin is we should all be treated the same, it’s not like we can decide what we’re going to look like at birth. Not even our own parents can decide that. This picture also shows some dark and gloominess as it can be sad how others can be bullied and ridiculed by things, they can’t control such as how they we’re born, or what skin color. This world needs to be pulled together more and work together, and we need to do better at supporting one another and spreading more kindness. So, all in all this picture has a lot of stories it can tell and has a lot of meaning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696963075365-T4JRR3OAPA62NLJ53VUW/Marah+Jones-.jpg MLK Art Contest - "The Hand of Brotherhood" by Marah Jaiden Jones Grade 9-12 We've all gone through touch times in our lives. Touch times that we'd rather not talk about. For some people, their whole life is an obstacle. People of color live in fear of those around them, simply for the color of their skin. We must help those around us and lift them from that quicksand of fear. Though you'll never be able to get the sand out of your shoes, you'll no longer be overwhelmed with the millions of sand shards around you. Someday we'll find comfort with each other and there will be no sand to be found. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696963132070-QJFS4JQI3W8M0ZVYTFYQ/Emily+Nevins+%281%29+cropped.jpg MLK Art Contest - "Salvation" by Emily Nevins Grade 6-8 My piece represents how racial injustice is extremely common in the US law system and in our community. Now of course, with a little help and protest along the way to pull the other back onto sturdy ground. The quicksand represents all of that, the court and law system, the police, the media, the public and so much more that can drown out black voices and covers all ofthe deaths and brutalities by the police.. Then again, a little help by our family and friends can pull us out of the shadows and into the light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696963214500-WJXZAO5AZJF0J97UBXMZ/20230314_115746+-+Alex+Swarthout.jpg MLK Art Contest - "Martin Luther King Jr. Art Piece" by Charles Swarthout Grade 9-12 I made this because of Inequity and why its troublesome. The Main Idea I was going for was the quote, "Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice and to the solid rock of Brotherhood." SoI tried my best to picture the quicksand of racial injustice and the solid of brotherhood, draw it on a piece of paper, and submit it. This took me about 2 Days to think about and 3 days to draw a draft. Finally, I settled on an art piece to submitand I call it "The Solid Rock of Brotherhood". It relates to the theme because of MLK Jr talking about Inequity and how it needs to change for the greater good and live in Equality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696965483381-MF0N6HU816F1H90ZILNY/2023+Art+Contest+Submissions+Announcement.jpg MLK Art Contest - "Foundations of the 16th Baptist Church" by Sarah Ann Sochay 2023 Grade 9-12 Winner On September 15th, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist church in Birmingham, Alabama was bombed. During this time, this had been the third bombing in the course of11 days. This attack, however, injured more than 20 and killed four little African-American girls named Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, and Carole Robertson. The death of these children was shocking to the nation, brought international attention to the civil rights movement, and outraged both white and black Americans. In this art piece I drew two hands, both black and white, holding onto the rubble of the church working to build a “foundation of brotherhood” with it. Behind the hands and the rubble, I added flames. Flames symbolically representpain and destruction but also light and rebirth. The death of Denise, Addie, Cynthia, and Carole was painful for the family and the nation as a whole. But, with the destruction of the church and the pain of death, both black and white Americans were determined to cause change and rebirth the foundation of brotherhood. Behind the flames, there is a faint outline of four people, representing the four girls that died in the bombing, standing with us as we build that foundation. Behind the rubble, hands, girls, and fire is a newspaper representing the way this bombing spread both nationally and internationally which outraged both white and black people alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696965603352-98D41INGQMWW2Y7QR6GR/Spartan+Strong.jpg MLK Art Contest - "Spartan Strong" by Eli Burch Grade 9-12 This year I decided to draw the Spartystatue after the MSU shooting. I thought it was a really powerfulimage and showed unity in a time of hardship and loss. I thought it was nice because after such a tragedy everyone came to pay their respects to fallen friends, family, and students. My piece fits the theme of “Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.” because the image is an example of a group of people coming together to do something good. Also, the Spartystatue is a representation and reminder of strength so it could be compared to a “solid rock of brotherhood.” So that is how my piece connects to the theme. I also thought the piece was just a good symbol of strength which is why I used the spartan strong logo at the bottom of the piece. The medium of this piece was digital, and I used my drawing tablet. I like the digital medium cause it’s so easy to build on your piece with layers and the ability to move things around if you need to. It can be the best of both worlds when it comes to painting and drawing because you can be precise as pencil and use colors and layering like paint. It always turns out cool and stylized and I don’t have to worry about any eraser marks or smudges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696965655185-JH5T4K7KQRTO2AAX697I/We+shall+overcome.jpg MLK Art Contest - "We Shall Overcome" by Jennifer Cronin Adult “Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.”---Martin Luther King Jr. During his “Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution” speech given at the National Cathedral, March 31, 1968, King declared, “We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”This quote really inspires me because even though progress towards equality seems far off, it is filled with hope that someday justice will come.His faith that there is something bigger at play than what is visible to our eyes, keeps our hearts and minds focused on what we as a nation could become.It is easy to be discouraged when we see the reality of racism and injustice all around us, but brotherhood is possible someday if we live with the intention of lifting upthe marginalized and under-represented. This artwork was created using the lino-cut printmaking technique. I created the design, transferred it onto a piece of linoleum and then applied ink on the carved linoleum to print it onto paper. The art of printmaking played an important role in the protests of the 1960s. The Civil Rights Movement prompted many artists to raise their voices in protest, and printmaking provided possibilities that were both easy to distribute, and in harmony with the current visual culture. My art is inspired by the pop art aesthetic of the 60s, as well as the use of text and bold images of that era's printmakers. We can carry on Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision when we use art as a form of peaceful protest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/1696965726837-RMRKJDMNT456PIBFDC50/Wasps+and+Butterflies.jpg MLK Art Contest - "Wasps & Butterflies" by Victoria Ericks Adult This quote from Martin Luther King Jr. originally referred to racial injustice, butrings true to the current situation of transgender people in 2023. Over 340 anti-trans/LGBTQ laws have been introduced in just one month this year, illustrating the ongoing subjugation of this group.Todepict the transgender experience, a sculpture of a human torso has been created.On the left side, butterflies were used to symbolize the transformation that occurs during top surgery, flitting up the structure and reaching hopefully upwards. With them, words from transgender individuals are included to demonstrate their search for safety, understanding, and acceptance. Their journey to self-discovery relates to the caterpillar preparing to emerge as its true self. On the right side, a swarm of caterpillar killers, also referred to as paper wasps, start to construct a nest using “she/her” pronouns. Hidden inside this structure, reveals the true “He/Him” inside, underneath the breast structure. Hate speech that the artist has heard directed at transgender people and to themselves is displayed beneath the wings of fallen butterflies. This artwork is inspired by the recent anti-trans legislation and is intended to show the reality of the difficult situation faced by the transgender community. This also calls to action how in the past, during antisemitic times in Germany, how there are stark similarities to this day.The delicate butterflies symbolize the solidarity of the transgender community and their struggle to survive amidst ongoing discrimination and violence, in hope to resonate with trans and non-trans people alike. https://mlkmidmichigan.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2024-11-22 https://mlkmidmichigan.com/tickets daily 0.75 2026-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ccbe6abd6080198b30efa/649a45f8-3505-42ff-b8d3-8c5f4a6fcf07/PURCHASE+TICKETS+ONLiNE.png Tickets -
