BLIZZARDY
As I sit and compose this post today, I have been watching it snow for hours. All day yesterday and today it has been the Tennessee equivalent of a blizzard. I am warmed by the idea that chili awaits me for dinner along with a snowman cupcake for dessert. This next call involves an entirely different kind of blizzard.
Check out this Call for Submissions to the Art Blizzard, an all-hung show whose proceeds go to support the art galleries at State University of New York (SUNY). If you need a resume builder, here’s an all hung show in New York. In addition to adding to your resume, you get to support the arts and get a little online publicity to boot. Take a look!

ABOUT THE GALLERIES: The Bertha V.B. Lederer Gallery in William A. Brodie Hall and the Lockhart Gallery on Main Street present both contemporary and historic rotating exhibitions, including works by local, regional and national artists, and by faculty and student artists.
The Bridge Gallery, a unique space bridging two wings of Brodie Hall, exhibits student work. Geneseo’s tradition of interweaving liberal and professional education began in 1867, when the state legislature passed an act authorizing the location of a “normal” (or teacher training) school.
In 1871, Geneseo welcomed its first students to the Wadsworth Normal and Training School, offering instruction to would-be teachers. Geneseo became an official campus of the State University of New York in 1948. Geneseo enrolls more than 5,000 students in undergraduate and graduate programs. Geneseo is located in Geneseo, NY, about 30 minutes south of Rochester, NY, 90 minutes east of Syracuse and 60 minutes west from Buffalo. continues below
