Twelve-inch album covers inspired by the theme “Anthems of Hope and Resistance: SING LOUD and SING PROUD.”
As we move into 2025, many of us are struggling to find ways to “stand tall” amidst the external chaos. In response, WPKN has called upon our community of artists to RISE UP AND CREATE! —  twelve-inch album covers – real or imagined – in any medium, inspired by the theme: “Anthems of Hope and Resistance: SING LOUD and SING PROUD.”
Album covers will remain on display throughout the station until mid-February.
All of the original one of a kind submissions will be for sale online HERE.
All proceeds support WPKN, sustaining the independent music and voices you love.
