Hello Readers,
Finally, a solution to fixing the wayward sidebar. The information we needed was found at J.S. Blog Stop (Blogger customizing tips, tricks and tools). Here's the link to the actual post:

Aaah, that bit of work is done. New posts shall appear soon.
Cheers,

Sidebar Matters
Hello Readers:
If you visited the blog today, then you would have noticed the ODD LAYOUT. Honestly, at this moment, I have NO IDEA why the sidebar shifted below the posts. Perhaps this is simply FACFE's way of hammering home the fact that we are excessively overdue for a spruce up.
Bear with us...we'll get it sorted.
Cheers,
Elise N.

The Arts Center: “Quilt County” Math Exhibit
Deadline: April 19, 2011 (RECEIVE)
“Quilt County” Math Exhibit
The Arts Center
Corvallis, OR
September 3 – 25, 2011
The Arts Center is seeking artwork for the Quilt County 2011 exhibition from September 3 – 25, 2011. As we have done in the past we seek art that is not necessarily a quilt, but artwork that deals with the same premise as quilting does: many small parts making one larger whole.
This year we are taking it a step further: we are looking for artwork that was created with mathematics recognizable as a guiding principle, since so many quilts have mathematical elements in their design. We hope to introduce math in a playful and artful manner. We plan to have the connection between art and science visible, so that art is experienced as a research method, just as math is a research method.
We are open to all media, and computer art generated directly from code will be included. We will be looking for tessellation, geometrics, sequences, and so forth. We are looking for both two and three dimensional art.
Artists as well mathematicians are encouraged to submit for the exhibit, but due to our particular expertise and The Arts Center’s mission, the selection will be based more on aesthetics, than on mathematical content.

"Artist-in-Residence"
The Arts Center
Main Gallery
Corvallis, OR
July 2011 Exhibit
We will start an entirely new approach to some of our exhibits with an artist-in-residency format. The Main Gallery of The Arts Center will be turned into a studio for 2 or 3 artists working and displaying their work. The artists will have an opportunity to create a body of work that responds to a different environment and interaction with the public.
We are inviting local and regional artists to submit an application for an artist residency, coinciding with an exhibition of their work in the Main Gallery of The Arts Center. Two to three residents will be selected. Artists in all media can apply, with the exception of glass blowing, metal forging and similar processes which the space cannot handle.
We are looking for a combination of two or three artists that will complement each other’s media and approach. Two or three artists can apply together for individual work or to propose an integrated body of work.
The artists must understand that the environment is in a public venue, and an openness or willingness towards interaction and conversations with the public is required.
The four week on-site residency will take place at The Arts Center in July 2011.
The call is ongoing, but no applications will be accepted after May 1, 2011. We will try to fill the residency as soon as possible, even before the May 1 date.

PlatteForum
Deadline: May 20, 2011 (RECEIVE)
Creative Residency
PlatteForum
Denver, CO
Residency Period: September 12, 2011 – August 3, 2012
PlatteForum offers unique opportunities for artists to use the facility and adjacent outdoor spaces in dynamic ways, inspired by the urban environment and architecture.
Throughout each residency, the artist uses PlatteForum as their studio for a minimum of 20 hours per week; creates a new body of work or continues on an existing project; dedicates 4- 6 hours each week working with small groups of underserved youth, K-12, in intensive workshops; and allocates additional time each week planning their interaction with the youth. PlatteForum staff supports the artist in the organization and facilitation of the youth workshops. The youth workshops build upon the ideas and forms of the Creative Resident. Each residency culminates in a public reception where the work and ideas of the Creative Resident and the youth are presented in a performance, exhibition or artist talk, depending on the work of the Creative Resident and the youth. A $250/week stipend, living and studio accommodations are provided by PlatteForum as part of the residency. Each Creative Resident’s individual work, and their time with the youth in the workshops make a valuable contribution to the city’s cultural discourse, impacts the lives of the youth, and fosters personal growth of the artist.
CREATIVE RESIDENCY OPTIONS
PlatteForum creates opportunities for artists to expand their work and collaborate with other artists, genres and venues. Our residency season is Sept. 2011–Aug. 2012. Three Creative Residency options are available, each with unique opportunities for the artist. Select which type of residency you prefer. You may select any or all of the different type of residencies.
1. Creative Residency: building on a body of work
The Creative Resident spends the majority of the residency developing a body of work they propose. The Creative Resident devotes a minimum of 20 hours per week at the PlatteForum studio working on their proposed body of work; and 4-6 hours, in addition to planning time, per week with one group of youth. The youth workshops are supported by PlatteForum staff. The resulting works from the artist and youth are presented to the public.
2. Residency Mash-Up: spontaneous combustion
Two artists are selected to be in residence at the same time. PlatteForum will provide a “prompt” or “starting point” to trigger the work. The artists may create work together; in opposition to; and any configuration in-between. The Creative Residents devote a minimum of 20 hours per week at the PlatteForum studio working on their body(ies) of work; and each artist devotes 4-6 hours, in addition to planning time, per week in workshops with youth. The youth workshops are supported by PlatteForum staff. The resulting works from the artists and youth are presented to the public. Do not submit applications as a collaborative team, as PlatteForum will curate the artists for the Residency Mash-Up.
3. Confluence Project: youth and community engagement with PlatteForum + Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (MCA Denver)
The PlatteForum + MCA Denver (www.MCADenver.org) Creative Residency is a shared artist-in-residency program. PlatteForum is the working studio with completed work installed at MCA Denver Fox Family Idea Box. The applying artist should be interested in creating art that is collaborative in making and in the way the audience views and interacts with the installed art. This becomes a dynamic environment for social interaction and hands on activities, evolving as visitors participate. The Creative Resident devotes a minimum of 20 hours per week at the PlatteForum studio working on their body of work; and devotes 4-6 hours, in addition to planning time, per week in workshops with 24+ teens from PlatteForum’s and MCA Denver’s youth programs.

required to pay utilities
required to hold set business hours
required to take out general liability insurance
strongly encouraged to have a free consultation before moving into a space

Art in Odd Places 2011: RITUAL
New York, New York
October 1 to 10, 2011
Art in Odd Places (AIOP) invites artists working across disciplines to
propose projects for its seventh installment. Taking place from
October 1 to 10, 2011, along 14th Street from Avenue C to the Hudson
River in New York City, we encourage proposals that explore this
location's rich history, configuration, and heterogeneous communities.
The theme for the upcoming edition of AiOP is RITUAL including
Ceremony, Habituation, Myth, Obsession, Superstition, Liturgy, and it
will be informed by propositions on the sacred and profane in everyday
actions of people in public space.
This edition of AiOP seeks proposals that subtly disrupt the procedures of the everyday or emphasize the ritualistic character of small gestures or
acts in both religious and secular life, to establish temporary
moments of ecstatic contemplation in the public realm.
AiOP 2011: RITUAL offers artists the opportunity to make art outside
formal spaces by reconfiguring their artistic practice as public
actions or urban interventions without the confinement of a gallery or
museum space. AiOP 2011: RITUAL wants to engage passers-by, providing
them with a new perspective of an otherwise familiar environment
through site-specific installations, social and spatial interventions,
video and audio projects, performance, new media, and other inventive
practices. In addressing the distinct manifestations of ritual, the
festival aims to broaden the public's outlook on art, city dwelling,
and social conventions.

Savannah, GA
May 20 - June 1, 2011
Desotorow Gallery announces a call to artists for "Spoked," an
exhibition to be held May 20 - June 1st, 2011.
Bicycles have had an immeasurable impact on culture worldwide. The passion they elicit has proven to be a universal presence with numerous subcultures. The bicycle is an object of pure simplicity, yet paradoxically our relationship with this ultimate human-powered machine is infinitely complex. The exhibition "Spoked" celebrates work that represents bicycles and bicycle culture in its many forms.
The juried exhibition "Spoked" is open to national and international artists of all levels. To be considered, an entry form, entry fee, artist statement and digital images of the artwork should be submitted to Desotorow Gallery by 5pm, May 10, 2011. A $20 submission fee allows for the submission of up to 3 pieces of work. Artists will receive
notification of the list of selected pieces through email on May 11.
Further information about submitting work for the exhibition "Spoked," including a complete list of dates, submission guidelines and forms, can be found at

Spoked
Desotorow Gallery
Savannah, GA
May 20 - June 1, 2011
Desotorow Gallery announces a call to artists for "Spoked," an
exhibition to be held May 20 - June 1st, 2011.
Bicycles have had an immeasurable impact on culture worldwide. The passion they elicit has proven to be a universal presence with numerous subcultures. The bicycle is an object of pure simplicity, yet paradoxically our relationship with this ultimate human-powered machine is infinitely complex. The exhibition "Spoked" celebrates work that represents bicycles and bicycle culture in its many forms.
The juried exhibition "Spoked" is open to national and international artists of all levels. To be considered, an entry form, entry fee, artist statement and digital images of the artwork should be submitted to Desotorow Gallery by 5pm, May 10, 2011. A $20 submission fee allows for the submission of up to 3 pieces of work. Artists will receive
notification of the list of selected pieces through email on May 11.
Further information about submitting work for the exhibition "Spoked," including a complete list of dates, submission guidelines and forms, can be found at

Studio 550: New Artist in Residence Program
Deadline: April 22, 2011 (POSTMARK)
Artist in Residence Program
Studio 550
Manchester, New Hampshire
Fall 2011
New Artist in Residence program open to ceramists and other visual artists beginning Fall 2011.
Studio 550 is part of a downtown mixed use development my family and I
are creating in a classic 1890 mill building in the city of Manchester, New Hampshire. In addition to the art center, the building will also house residential apartments upstairs and an internet cafe-bistro downstairs. As such, resident artists have the option of living upstairs in freshly built downtown apartments, while working in private studios downstairs.
The Studio 550 Art Center will be complete with an artist residency
program, a gallery and store, a ceramics classroom (with gas and
electric kilns and a glaze mixing room (sorry, no atmospheric kilns
yet!), and a mixed use classroom for (non-dusty) visual and movement
arts (book making, basketry, bead working, fibers, aikido, dance, and
yoga/tai chi, etc.).
Until we get the website up, interested individuals may contact me via phone or email.
