The Curt Teich Postcard Archives at the Lake County Discovery Museum is pleased to announce a call for entries for the eighth biannual Postcard Art Competition and Exhibition (PACE).

The deadline for submissions to the PACE competition is July 13, 2009. Art in any two-dimensional medium reproducible by photographic process is acceptable, as is three-dimensional work with a depth no greater than three-eighths of an inch. Winning artworks will be included in an exhibit that opens in October 2009 at the Lake County Discovery Museum, near Wauconda, and then travels to various local galleries and cultural institutions for approximately one year.
The exhibition showcases 36 finalists. Work will be judged on overall creativity, content, technical expertise and ease of reproduction within the postcard format. Cash prizes and printed copies of the postcard made from their design will be awarded to the top 12 entries. All entries are eligible to participate in an art sale in July 17 & 18, 2009.

Eastern State Penitentiary Artists' Proposals
Deadline: June 16, 2009, 5:00 pm (RECEIVE)
Artists' Proposals
Eastern State Penitentiary
Philadelphia, PA
2010 Season
Types of Funding and Approval
Eastern State Penitentiary now provides funding on two tracks: Exhibition Approval and Proposal Development. Proposals and deadlines for the two types of funding are nearly identical. Exceptions are noted below.
Exhibition Approval: Maximum $7,500.00 per project, includes approval to exhibit during the proposed exhibition cycle. It is not necessary to have applied for or received Proposal Development. Must be for current exhibition cycle. No artist installations can be approved to exhibit on the property without approval through this process. All projects that are approved are for exhibit during one full tour season (April through November), unless otherwise discussed. Artists whose work is currently on exhibit can apply through a separate process to extend their installation by one tour season.
Proposal Development: Maximum $2,500.00 per project, for development of an Exhibition Approval proposal. Proposal Development cannot be applied to the current exhibition cycle. This funding is designed to develop an idea or body of work that will later be submitted as an Exhibition Approval proposal in a later cycle. It is intended to offset travel costs and artist materials for ambitious projects that may require extensive work to develop. It is not necessary to name which year an Exhibition Approval proposal will be submitted. Receipt of Proposal Development does not guarantee later Exhibition Approval, nor that the work will ever be exhibited.
Eligibility
Collaborative proposals are permitted; each artist may only submit just one proposal per year (whether alone or as part of a collaboration), and must choose between the Proposal Development and Exhibition Funding categories.
Artists who have previously exhibited at the site must wait five years before submitting a proposal for a new installation.
Currently enrolled undergraduate students are ineligible to apply.
All proposals must be for a site-specific installation.
Proposals will not be reviewed if they are submitted after the deadline, are incomplete or do not follow the requirements.
Exhibition Conditions: (truncated)
Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site is a National Historic Landmark, the highest designation for an historic property under Federal Law. It is also a ruin, abandoned in 1971, and stands today as an architectural shell. The building has virtually no running water, no climate control, and limited electrical service. These conditions can be destructive to many types of materials. Most artists working at Eastern State build their work for the space and incorporate the inevitable deterioration into the piece.
Because of the building's condition, neither Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, Inc. (the organization that administers the historic site) nor the City of Philadelphia (the owner of the site) can be responsible for damage to work on site. The historic site carries insurance for the safety of the public while in the complex, and of the artists during the installation process, but not for the value of the art installations on display.

10th Annual "Artists' Books" Exhibition
Deadline: Unspecified
10th Annual "Artists' Books" Exhibition
Cuesta College Art Gallery
San Luis Obispo, CA
June 15 - July 16, 2009
Just a short introduction to the call for entries for "Artists' Books 2009", my name is David Prochaska; I am an instructor of fine art at Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, California. Since 1999 I have organized an annual book arts exhibition, to expose our local community to the community of artists making books. These exhibitions have grown each year, both in the number of books exhibited, as well as the number of enthusiastic visitors to these installations. If you are looking to expose your artist books to a new and enthusiastic audience, then this is the exhibition for you.
In these times of fiscal restraints, we are all aware of the limited funding accessible to the arts. At the same time we must, as artists, be aware of the need to build greater exposure to all art forms. For this reason we must continue to ask the artists contributing to these exhibitions to assist in the transportation of their books. (Mailing fees generally cost between $10 to $20 dollars.) With no entry fee or other charges this is a small price to pay to get your books out to the people. If you feel this is an exhibition worthy of your support and participation, we would love to have the opportunity to exhibit and explore your investigation of the book form.
This is a "hands on" exhibition! We want to encourage the visitors to interact with these book forms, so please send books you want people to interact with. We will provide gloves to the visitors to protect the books from any soiling. But again, we really do hope to build a willingness to interact with the books exhibited.
The exhibition will display between 80-100 books, so your work will be in good company.

Smithtown Township Arts Council: Little Black Book
Deadline: May 8, 2009 (RECEIVE)
Little Black Book
Smithtown Township Arts Council
James, NY
June 6-July 1, 2009
For many artists, drawings are an integral part of their creative journey…an exploration of the visual world and their response to it. Artists build their work through inspiration, references, sketches, models, underpaintings and other modes of planning.
An artist’s Little Black Book is often a secret stash of intimate expressions, innermost thoughts, and experimental techniques that lay the groundwork for their final piece.
The Exhibition seeks to show the thought processes involved in art making through the evolution of the work. Submit sketchbooks, photos, models or other examples of preliminary plans, along with final piece of art these plans evolved from. Both the final works and preliminary plans will be exhibited.
ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists and all visual media. Work may not exceed 54 inches in width. Sculptures weighing over 50 lbs. must be delivered and installed by the artist.
ENTRY FEE:
$35 for up to 3 entries
$20 for STAC artist members **Artists may become STAC artist level members at time of entry.
Entry deadline is May 8, 2009, and must be submitted as 300 ppi jpeg files on CD only.

Troika 7 'small art' exhibition
DRAGON HALL

The exhibition is open to everyone and each contributor may enter as many works as they like. This will be a 'no frills' exhibition where unframed unmounted works will be pinned to a board and spaces will be filled when and where items are sold.
We are asking contributors to send us works no larger than postcard size (6" X 4") . All media accepted (painting, drawings, photos, collages or anything else) but it must be able to be pinned to a board...if we can't pin it, it can't be exhibited.
We ask contributors to remain anonymous until their piece is sold by clearly PRINTING their name and email address ON THE REVERSE side of each of their works, along with date, signature and any other information they may wish the buyer to have i.e. web site.
Works exhibited will be on sale for a fixed price of £10.
All entries must include a stamped addressed envelope with enough postage to return work and any payments due.
We are a non-profit making organisation of volunteer artists working for the benefit of other artists and art lovers. TROIKA cannot be held responsible for damage or loss, and so if required, we request that contributors make their own insurance arrangements. However, we shall endeavour to avoid any such problems. We ask contributors to enter into the spirit of this exhibition, which is designed to show the public the divesity of contemporary artists, and also to give the artists an opportunity to step outside of their usual boxes.
INTERNATIONAL CONTRIBUTORS
To avoid mailing complications, we suggest that contributors, wherever possible, get together in small collectives to send packets with a self-addressed envelope and enough cash (in notes) to cover returns inside. NO CHEQUES PLEASE. Please make sure that you enclose sufficient value, as I remind you that this is a non-profit exhibition run by volunteers with no funding. Please make sure that you send early enough for us to receive by 12th. May 2009.
TROIKA is a contemporary art event organiser, run voluntarily by artists for the benefit of other artists and art lovers. We try to organise regular exhibitions for a succession of ever changing exhibitors, selected usually by word of mouth and via approaches from artists that hear of us. Our main concern is to find the most interesting artists working within a 'contemporary' framework, trying to keep an open mind as to how that may be interpreted.
We stress that we are not an artistic 'group' working in a similar style with similar concerns. We are quite the opposite, in that we are constantly searching for those with different perspectives and working methods. Even our two core members work very differently from each other, and endeavour to produce completely new work for each show. Diversity has become our quest, and hopefully each exhibition we organise will demonstrate that.
We welcome contact from artists who feel they could contribute within our loose guidelines, and might want to be part of our future exhibitions. We are based near Norwich, Norfolk, UK.

Aberystwyth Arts Centre Artists' Residencies
Deadline: Ongoing/Unspecified
Aberystwyth Arts Centre
Artists' Residencies
Aberystwyth University
Penglais Hill
Applications are now invited for the new Artists’ Residency Programme. Successful artists will be based for a period of either 3 or 6 months at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, part of Aberystwyth University, in newly built studios designed by the award winning Thomas Heatherwick.
The residencies are open to UK visual artists in all disciplines including applied arts. The successful artists will receive studio space of c. 35 square metres, accommodation, and living expenses for the duration of their residency. The residency will be an opportunity for the artist to step away from the everyday constraints of life and experience time in which to develop individual artistic practice, and to exchange ideas in a creative atmosphere with people from other disciplines.
The selected artists will devote most of their time to pursuing their work, but the following will, by discussion with individual artists, be a part of the experience:
An informal public talk by the artist about their practice
Social meetings with other artists and arranged visits to other arts venues in Wales
Open studio morning once per month by arrangement with the artist
Open Studio exhibition of work at the end of the residency.
The possibility of the work being exhibited for a longer period in one of the Arts Centre Galleries will be discussed during the residency; as will the potential for any outreach/educational work should the artist wish it.
Up to three artists will be offered residencies at any one time. Other Units in the complex will be in use by a variety of creative businesses.
A residency will cover the following costs for the agreed period: cost of the Studio, including heating, lighting etc; accommodation arranged locally. A fixed sum for living expenses and materials will be awarded. Travel to and from Aberystwyth is borne by the artist.
The amounts currently awarded are: £100 per week living expenses to include travel during the residency period; £25 per week materials allowance.
The studios have basic furniture only. Facilities within the Arts Centre will be available by negotiation, eg. digilab equipment, darkroom, ceramics studio etc.
Applicants will be evaluated on criteria including the artistic or professional excellence of the applicant’s work; and the extent to which a residency at Aberystwyth Arts Centre will contribute to the artist’s development and be consistent with the applicant’s creative goals, and professional development.
Applications are accepted at any time. The next selection will be in Autumn 2009.
