Call for Proposals for a Public Work of Art  The Button Project 

Bristol Community College and its Holocaust and Genocide Center, located in Fall River, Massachusetts, invite proposals from artists and artist teams for a significant public artwork. This project involves incorporating a collection of 1.5 million buttons, each symbolizing a child murdered during the Holocaust. Artists are encouraged to utilize the entire collection, with preference given to proposals that do so. The project’s central aim is to honor the memory of these children while simultaneously raising awareness about the horrors of the Holocaust, fostering reflection, education, and dialogue within the community.
