Calling artists of all ages!

We are working on a NEW MUSIC VIDEO to tell a story of our current place in history, through the lens of a traditional color challenge song JENNY JENKINS.

Thanks to the invitation of the Daily Antidote of Song and the Library of American Folklife Center Archive Challenge, I created a whole lot of new verses for this COLOR-ful song.

We are looking for illustrations to bring this story to life. We are asking children, teenagers, and adults near and far to illustrate their favorite verse(s).

We will use your artwork

to create the JENNY JENKINS music video.

Here's how to become a part of this project:

1) Click here https://elisewitt.com/web/jenny-jenkins/ to listen to the song and read the words

2) Choose your favorite verse(s) and have fun making artwork to illustrate it

* draw, paint, collage - abstract or literal - creativity welcome!

3) Scan or photograph your artwork

* use even lighting, no shadows

* use natural light when possible, either outdoors or indoors

4) Email the scan or photograph of your artwork to Art Director Jessica Lily jessica.lily11@gmail.com & let us know:

* Which verse you've illustrated (put it in your email - no words on your drawing)

* Who to credit for your creation

Deadline to receive your drawings is SAT. DEC. 5th

We're looking forward to creating with you!

Jacqueline Howard wrote a wonderful version of Otis Redding's classic song for the Global Village Project. We sang it at the Harriet Tubman Museum in Macon, Otis' hometown, and his daughter Karla Redding-Andrews loved it!

Mezzo Soprano Kristen Dubenion-Smith recorded my song "Evolution of an Idea" for her Social DistanSING Series.

Thanks to Michael Holmes, my choral arranger, for connecting us!
