Hidden Cities 2011 National WCA Juried Exhibition Prospectus: "Hidden Cities" - No matter our place in society, we all have our Hidden City , a place of refuge from gender, race, class and sexual exclusions, a place that shapes the feminist viewpoint. Some cities, like wrapped boxes, conceal unexpected gifts, others are riddles and lyrical abstractions. These are performative spaces where we may imagine retribution for injustices, righting wrongs or conversely, delving into the dark side. Artists are invited to explore their idea of their Hidden City, real or imagined, in an array of media. The theme may be broadly interpreted from an activist, political or personal context. Convince the viewer of its viability, a live space filled with passion and imagination.

She is the second person to occupy that post in the museum's 30 year history. Since it's founding in 1977, the New Museum has had a unique role in the New York art world as a leading destination for new art and new ideas and is Manhattan 's only dedicated contemporary art museum. She lectures on contemporary art at museums throughout the world and has served as a Visiting Critic at Yale University and as a panelist and juror for the National Endowment for the Arts, New York City Public Art Commission, and the Fulbright Fellowship Review Committee. Under Ms. Phillips direction, it is respected internationally for the adventurousness and global scope of its curatorial program. In 2003, with the Board, she initiated a major capital campaign to fund a new building project that resulted in a 60,000 square foot new world class cultural destination which opened in 2007 designed by the cutting edge firm, SANAA. In late 2007, the New Museum opened on the Bowery, having raised over $64 million and having established an endowment for the first time in the Museum's history. She has more than doubled the New Museum's income and membership; increased profile and visibility through higher quality programming, rebranding, and marketing initiatives; expanded Board from fifteen to thirty-eight members; developed long term partnerships with corporations like Target, Altoids, and Bloomberg LP; dramatically expanded education and youth programs; and took on Rhizome, a new media organization as an affiliate. Prior to joining the New Museum , Phillips, was a curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art. She organized such landmark exhibitions as "The American Century Part II: Art and Culture" (1999), "Beat Culture and the New America: 1950-1965" (1995), "Frederick Kiesler" (1989), and "Image World: Art and Media Culture" (1989). She presided over mid-career surveys of Richard Prince (1992), Terry Winters (1992), and Cindy Sherman (1987), in addition to overseeing the 1997 Biennial Exhibition and serving on the curatorial team for each Biennial between 1985 and 1993.

FEB 2011 JURIED EXHIBITION “INTIMACY”

ARC Gallery is a non-profit, alternative space run by a collective of women artists since its inception in 1973. ARC is proud to be hosting “INTIMACY” a group exhibition juried by ANDREA GREEN, Director of the Visiting Artists Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Previously, Green was Associate Curator at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis where she curated the exhibitions Janaina Tschäpe: Melantropics, Laylah Ali: Painting and Drawings, and co-curated Contemporary Masterworks: Saint Louis Collects and Alexander Ross: Survey.

Deadline for Submissions: December 5, 2010

All submissions are to be by email to info@arcgallery.org

This juried exhibition aims to explore the notion of “intimacy” as it affects art-making. How can feelings be represented in the formal expression of art? “Intimacy” can be about the sense of belonging-a sense that you are not alone in the world, that others are literate in your thoughts and feelings. “Intimacy” can be an attachment to a person

or thing that allows you to remain tethered to the world. This juried exhibition aims to explore how notions of intimacy can inform artistic practices and how art can portray the many aspects of intimacy, including, but not limited to, relationships between people, people and things, creator and object, individual and environment, private and public. We would like the entries to consider ideas of: scale, familiarity, proximity, closeness, tenderness, attachment, (inner or inmost nature), being knowledgeable about. While we welcome work that engages intimacy as subject matter, we are primarily interested in investigations of intimacy as a concept in art-making. Artists should examine not only the meanings of intimacy, but its expression in formal, social, social and political contexts.

Open to all artists working in any media.

On-line application. To download prospectus for “Intimacy” follow this link:

Big Shoulders Magazine Art and Poetry contest

The deadline is October 1st for entries.
Winners will have their work online at the magazine
and have a short write up and their website listed.

There will be an exhibit some of the artwork chosen
in late October at a location near Damen and North
Avenue. There are a lot of active bars, restaurants,
etc in the area and it is very much an art district.

Please go to www.sobs.org
and read the twelve poems chosen from Rhino
Poetry Magazine and choose one to three.

You can submit existing work. YOUR WORK
DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A PERFECT MATCH,
just something that you feel connects your
work with one of the poems.

You can paint a work to match a poem
but if you have a work that matches one
of the poems in some way please send it in.
REMEMBER, it doesn't have to be an exact
match in the content, just connect to the poem
in some way. So if it is a poem about a garden
you can send in a floral, a poem about the action
at a jazz place, sends something that touches
on musical performance, something about
a certain street send a picture of a street
that has something in common.

Art on the Harbor

Artists and jewelry artisans now have a direct path to collectors in key affluent markets aboard SeaFair: The Megayacht Venue. International Fine Art Expositions (IFAE) and SeaFair founders David and Lee Ann Lester have announced "Art on the Harbor", to allow face to face interactions between artists and collectors aboard the world's first mobile megayacht venue.

SeaFair provides a private interactive experience for artists and artisans with current and prospective clients," said David Lester. "Collectors can directly view contemporary art and jewelry in a luxurious shipboard environment, without leaving their local communities. This innovative program offers artists and artisans an upscale platform and direct channel to sell their works and meet new collectors."

Each fair is meticulously created by a board of art experts composed of gallery owners, museum professionals and experienced IFAE staff. All applicants and participants must be approved in advance by the committee. Regional gallery owners are invited aboard to meet with participating artists and view their work, making possible future gallery representation.

"Art on the HARBOR" will take place in:


Miami Beach, Florida - December 9-12, 2009
As a pre-Christmas show, the fair will draw attendees from Miami's wealthy, year-round collector-base as well as its affluent winter residents from New York and other northeast cosmopolitan areas.


Sarasota, Florida - January 27 – 30, 2011
At the height of Florida's winter season, the fair opens up this lucrative art market on Florida's West Coast to artists and artisans. Known for its rich tapestry of arts, there is no other community of its size in Florida that supports as many significant arts and cultural institutions.


Palm Beach, Florida - March 17 – 20, 2011
This well-heeled community has supported multiple art fairs over the past two decades, and this show fills a void in the marketplace after the city's land-based fairs are over. Seafair will dock in the heart of the luxurious and bustling community, drawing affluent winter and year-round residents.

Now accepting applications for all locations DOWNLOAD APPLICATION here.

We invite you to view more information about SeaFair, and we look forward to speaking with you about how we can expand your collector base with these innovative shows.

Best regards,
Lee Ann Lester, Organizer
