Calling all artists: the Lincoln County Breastfeeding Coalition is accepting submissions for their upcoming art show, "The Art of Breastfeeding". Scheduled to take place in August at venues in Lincoln City and Newport, OR, the show will involve works in various media depicting the nursing relationship.
LCBC spokesperson Pat Lewis says "There are no images of breastfeeding in the
public venue ... the images may be out there, but we don't see them.
It's not in the social psyche." She hopes that the art show will help change that. Oregon's WIC program is one sponsor of the show (they're seeking additional sponsors as well), and the winner of the juried art show will have his or her work featured on WIC posters.
Sounds like a great summer road trip for Portland and Seattle families.
