The Pink Begins….

I was excited to see that the first two responses for the Pink Mail Art Show arrived and were waiting for me in the post office box yesterday.  A big pink thank you to K.D. Sams and C. Mehrl Bennett.  You can send some pink mail too – here is the link to the call for pink mail art.

Another week's worth of Pink Mail Art

Call for Artists - Collage Meets Landscape

Call for Artists

Collage Meets Landscape

I will be returning to San Francisco’s Glama-Rama Salon and Gallery this year with a new show.  It will be an exhibit of my current series of Collagescapes.  All the pieces are mixed media work where landscape painting meets collage.  Some examples of the work can be seen at tofuart.com

On the upper level of Glama-Rama, at the same time, I am curating a companion show of mixed media works, where the theme will be Collage meets Landscapes.  There is a strong preference for local, Bay Area artists, though out-of-town artists will be considered.

Theme: All pieces should fit the theme of both collage/mixed media and landscape.  

Size: All pieces must not exceed 12” wide x 16” high (including frame).

Please note: All pieces in the show will be original works, digital prints will not be considered. 

Date of exhibit:  July 29^th to September 29^th, 2014.

Deadline for submission*: April 30, 2014.  Accepted artists are to be notified via email by May 15, 2014.

Sales of Art: A 40% commission on all sales with 60% going to the artist. All works sold must remain at Glama-Rama for the duration of the exhibition. Payment will be issued to the artist within 30 days of the close of the exhibition.

To submit work:

Artists may submit up to three works for the exhibit and up to two images per piece.  The images must be in .jpg format and no jpeg should exceed 1mb in size.  Files should be clearly labeled with the artist name and piece title (e.g., smith_collage_green.jpg)

·      artist name
