your mission

Select one (or more) words from the NYT article on 100 disappearing words below and make them the focus of your creations. Whether you draw, paint, sculpt, weave, craft, photograph, or work in any other medium—we want to see your unique artistic interpretation. Bedazzle it.

Transform these words into powerful visual statements. Celebrate them, honor them, or reclaim them. The word(s) should be the heart of what you make.

We’re looking for varied approaches—from bold graphic statements to hand-crafted t-shirts. What you make will be displayed and sold (for donation to The Trevor Project) at The Department of Insubordination Art & Craft Show November 16th.
