Who doesn’t love maple syrup?  I am a little embarrassed to admit that I instantly think “maple” when I think of Canadian food.  A country with such a rich multi-cultural food tradition (not the least of which is French) deserve more consideration.  Nonetheless, I think of maple treats.  My in-laws go fishing in Canada every year, and I can always count on a bounty of maple candy and syrup upon their return.  But, I’m running a little low this year.  Any chance one of you might pick up a few maple-flavored treats for me while you’re at the opening for this next call?  It is time to go…

Check out this Call for Entries from Richmond Art Gallery (Richmond, BC, Canada) for a Mail Art Exhibition.  For those of you not in Canada, here’s a way to get an international show on your resume for FREE and free art too.  Take a closer look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mail Art Exhibition

Read the full Call for Entries from Richmond Art Gallery in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada!Artists from all over the world are invited to contribute their work for the Richmond Art Gallery’s Mail Art Exhibition and Swap. This exhibition is intended to be a cultural exchange, where artists exhibit their works and receive new works as part of a swap. This shared enterprise is free from the rules of the art market, and yet we ask artists to respond to the theme of “economy” in all its forms.

Mail Art (aka Postal Art) is an art form where artists exchange artworks and correspondence through the mail to one another. The historical roots of Mail Art can be traced back to the Fluxus art movement of the 1960s, where several artists associated with the Fluxus movement began to work with Mail Art as the non-commercial exchange of creative ideas, correspondence and images in mailable formats that existed outside of the gallery system. In the 1970s Mail Art grew as an international art movement, and continues on nowadays with the help of the internet.

To continue on in the tradtion of this democratic art form, all entries received that follow the guidelines on the entry form will be exhibited.

I absolutely love heirloom vegetables. I love the idea of preserving the genetic “bloodline,” if you will, of a fruit or vegetable easily distinguished from the genetically modified, hot-house varieties we are all used to eating.  However, I can admit that sometimes a tomato is just a tomato.  This next call recognizes that sometimes art is just art.  They don’t want your CV, resume, statment or anything else–just your art.

Check out this Open Call from the WW Gallery for the Venice Biennale.  Here’s your chance to get a London show based on merit.  The deadline is rapidly approaching but you can email your entry!  Take a look…
