I am a hypocritical health food junkie.  I am the arrogant jerk that gives you sideways looks in the grocery line as you pile bacon, potato chips and pop tarts on the conveyor belt.  Afterall, you will be in the parking lot as I am hiding my Moon Pies under my bag of kale.  Sorry; it is hypocritical, I know.  I just want to live forever.  I want if for you too.  The majority of my groceries are whole foods, healthy or leafy and green.  But I never leave without a sugary indulgence.  This next Call needs you alive too.  Stay healthy…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery (New Orleans, LA)  for the 17th Annual No Dead Artists Exhibit.  This show could pay off in spades.  Don’t wait until the last minute to enter…

CALL for ENTRIES:
No Dead Artists

No Dead Artists turns that notion on its head and gives emerging artists their first break in the art world. In the 90’s, the exhibition was open only to New Orleans artists and subsequently grew to include artists of Louisiana. In 2010, the exhibition expanded to become a national juried exhibition open to artists from the entire United States.

Each year, hundreds of artists submit thousands of works with the hope of being in the select few to exhibit at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery. The exhibition is reviewed annually by D. Eric Bookhardt (Artpapers and Gambit Weekly). The opening reception marks the beginning of the arts season in New Orleans and is attended by thousands of art enthusiasts.

The exhibition was created in 1995 to give a voice to emerging artists. Now in its 17th year, No Dead Artists has become an exhibition that has time and again discovered new and emerging talent and is one of the most celebrated art exhibitions in the South.
