TWIGS for your TEETH
I love non-traditional foods and flavors. I recently took a guided hike with A Walk in the Woods where we tasted everything from spicebush (pictured left) to nature’s toothbrush, the birch twig. But, I suppose most non-traditional foods are not non-traditional to someone somewhere. It is all a matter of perspective. This Call for Entries is part of an on-going effort on the part of the gallery to use non-traditional curators. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries from the A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, NY for Illegitimate & Herstorical. Enter artwork of any media for $30 for FOUR images by June 15, 2011. Take a chance…
CALL for ENTRIES: Illegitimate & Herstorical
This is the 2nd Annual CURRENTS exhibition, a program where A.I.R. invites non-traditional curators (artists, activists, writers, poets) to select works to be exhibited within theme designed as a collaboration between the curator and the gallery. This year’s theme is Illegitimate & Herstorical: an exhibit on alternatives in art, love, power, knowledge and community.
Each year the CURRENTS exhibit addresses an issue that warrants expanded critical attention in the art world. The exhibit will be located in A.I.R.’s Gallery I space from January 4th – January 28th, 2012.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to all women and transgender artists.
MEDIA: Open to all media.
DEADLINE: June 15, 2011
NOTIFICATION: October 1, 2011
ENTRY FEE: $30 for 4 images, $5 for each additional image. *Editor’s Note: A.I.R will waive the entry fee for applicants that contact the gallery ahead of time and express that due to a difficult financial situation the entry fee is prohibitive. Artists will not be turned away for this reason. Please note that as A.I.R is an artist-run not-for-profit-gallery application fees are necessary to fund this exhibition and other projects. Please only request fee waiver if it is really necessary.
