H.D.\u2019s innovative and experimental poetry and prose established her as a leading Modernist in the early twentieth century, and she is widely recognized today as a queer, feminist visionary. She remains the most influential literary figure born in the Lehigh Valley. The unveiling of this portrait will be presented as part of Finding H.D., a 12-month long public exploration of H.D.&#8217;s life and work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Please submit your application via email to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jberk@bapl.org\">jberk@bapl.org<\/a>\u00a0no later than March 8, 2019.<\/u><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project details:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large portrait, approximately 2 ft x 3 ft, framed, of Hilda Doolittle<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Style\/medium are at\u00a0artist&#8217;s discretion<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final concept drawings due April 30, 2019.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final work due August 1, 2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Your application must include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">initial sketch and portrait concept proposal<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">artist\u00a0portfolio (sample of your work)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">price estimate (include the price of frame\/framing)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Answer to the question: &#8220;<strong>What would painting H.D.&#8217;s portrait mean to you personally?<\/strong>&#8221; (approximately 500 words)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final decision will be made by a committee of library staff and community partners, voting based on the fit of the\u00a0artist&#8217;s work and their response to these requirements.\u00a0<u>Submissions are due March 8<\/u>.
