CALL for ENTRIES: Show of Heads

HEADS UP

Goat heads, really? Caught a show called Extreme Cheapskates the other day just long enough to see a man by two goat heads for $7.50 total. In many parts of the world, goat heads are a common protein, and I’m not knocking it because I haven’t eaten it. My problem with the concept is that he was supposed to be an extreme cheapskate. I can buy 10 lbs. of chicken quarters for $6. Who knows. This next call won’t take hind quarters. Heads only please…

Check out this Call for Entries from SlowArt Productions for A Show of Heads exhibit at the Limner Gallery! Open to all artists and media, this exhibit is a great shot for all of you to dive in head first …pun intended.
