DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: MARCH 25, 2010
WORK Gallery and The Wassaic Project team up again in 2010!
Submit work of any genre to be exhibited at the red tin shack on April 17th, 2010 for our Spring fundraiser. All work will be donated to the two organizations and the proceeds will benefit the exciting duo. Submit work here!
02/21: Heads Up!
Brooklyn Art Alternative will soon be taking submissions for a book of paintings completed on mobile devices. There are all kinds of free and paid apps for drawing/painting/collaging on mobile devices. Here is a list of of few... Droid: Zebra Paint | Blackberry: Make A Mess
iPhone: Brushes (Recommended) or Whiteboard | Nokia: Mobile Paint
Brushes for iPhone is by far the most versatile of the applications listed. Whiteboard being a close second, and Nokia Mobile Paint is probably the best non-iPhone app. The rest unfortunately are mere finger painting apps.
If you don't have one of these apps, GET ONE, tell your friends and colleagues to get one, and start making mobile paintings at work instead of just killing time on Facebook.
Hey, David Hockney is doing it. (and he's ooold)
Here is a list of opportunities for artists, lovingly compiled by the nice folks at NURTUREart:

Soliciting unsolicited exhibition proposals
Continuing our annual Unsolicited Proposal Program, we will accept 600-word, idea-based proposals for evaluation by an international panel of apexartassociates (curators, artists, writers, philosophers). Submissions are reviewed independently, anonymously and without visual support material-they are evaluated solely on the strength of the idea. No mountain too high, no river too deep!
Previous curatorial experience is in no way required, and will not factor into the selection process.
The two proposals with the highest ratings will be presented at apexart in the 2010-11 season (September 2010 to July 2011).
Artists' Applications Now Being Accepted for PooL Art Fair
PooL is the premiere fair in the US dedicated to artists that do not have representation in galleries. PooL will be at the Gershwin Hotel located at East 27 street between 5th and Madison avenues. The fair will happen during the other international contemporary fairs (the armory show, pulse, scope and volta) and is open late night. Last year there was a huge crowd at the opening and good traffic over the days with collectors, curators, press and other art professionals wandering the halls. Sales, press and other opportunities came about for many artists.
The Gershwin Hotel has a long history and was the location of the first scope art fair. the rooms are a good size with not a lot of furniture or fancy design elements and the ceilings are a decent height.
