COOKIE MONEY

Money is necessary to buy food… or the seeds to grow food… or to rent the land to grow the plants you pinched from someone else.  The point is that money is necessary at some point in the equation As a result, I am known for being particularly sensitive to entry fees and costs associated with putting your art out there.  But I ran across one opportunity, I just HAD to share with you.

Remember my little $2 Art Contest?  I have been outdone by the $1.50 Art Forum Ad Project.  Yep.  $1.50.  You can’t buy a decent cookie for $1.50, but you can advertise your art…albeit tiny.  Check it out…

ART ADVERTISING:
The Art Forum Ad Project

This project, a conceptual artwork by artist Jeff Thompson, allows for 4,200 artists to have their work seen in Artforum magazine.

Each participant, paying $1.50 USD and sending their image electronically, will then have their piece, along with all the other participating artists, in an advertisement. Of course, due to the number of artists needed to raise the money for this venture, the images themselves will be quite small… about 3/16″ x 3/16″. (think pencil eraser size, but square.)

FEES: You make a payment of $1.50 using PayPal and send an image of your work. The image is shrunk to the 3/16″. When $4,200 is raised, the ad is sent to Artforum to be published.

The final advertisement and all participating artists will be listed on a revised version of www.artforumadproject.com after publication.

SUBMISSIONS:   You can submit payment via PayPal to artforum@jeffreythompson.org, then send your image via email. Please send images sized no larger than 5″ x 7″, 300 dpi. Be sure to include your PayPal confirmation number with your image.

*Editor’s Note:  This IS NOT endorsed by Artforum Magazine.  And no, I cannot guarantee this is not a scam.  Lots of these projects exist.  But, I would also like to remind you that you have wasted $1.50 before…I guarantee it.  So, if you’re feeling adventurous and don’t have the time or money for skydiving…take a chance.
