on your SHIRT!

I grew up using cloth napkins.  It didn’t matter if were eating popcorn or Thanksgiving dinner…it was always cloth napkins.  I am intrigued why people feel the need to fold them in such elaborate shapes.  I simply don’t have the patience to learn until now… check out these printed orgami napkins.  Too cute.  This Call for Entries is for an altogether more distinguished kind of print, and I hope one of you lands the first prize.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Washington Printmakers Gallery  in Maryland for Small Works!  First prize is a solo exhibition.  Take a chance…

PRINTMAKERS DESERVE
TO EAT CHEESE!

We always want what we can’t have.  I want to live on blue cheese, but my family has explain that it isn’t really an option.  Printmakers want shows to enter…and it really should be an option.

As I have mentioned before, artists looking for printmakers’ call for entry make up a significant part of the readership of ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. They ARE hard to find–so when I run across any opportunity for printmakers, I like to pass it along.  This is a great opportunity for Gallery Representation for a printmaker…and you don’t have to be local.
