ArtsWest: Unplugged Exhibit Call for Art

Call for Artists

Unplugged Challenge

curated by Michele Osgood of Bherd Studios

ArtsWest Artists Association Member Exhibition

June 26 - July 24, 2011

About the AWAA Member Exhibit:

Society heavily depends on technology to get news, promote business, socialize, organize and research. While there are clear advantages to utilizing social media for promoting artwork and connecting to buyers, the downfall can be that it wastes precious art producing hours. Artists have obviously been creating and selling artwork well before the onset of current technology, it�s not as if it is a requirement to function in the art world� or is it?

If you�ve ever been at work or school when the servers go down for more than an hour, had a bad internet connection or experienced the government turning off the internet, it may have led you to wonder what would happen if there was a world-wide interruption or what if Y2K really happened? Would you experience a euphoric feeling of freedom from the unfettering of social network bondage, or would you panic and go into a hyperventilated state of withdrawal?

It is with these ideas that we propose you take the �Unplugged Challenge.� This is a 1-week break from TV, internet, social media, and texting (i.e. cell phones will be used only as phones). Being unplugged also includes no news media. You may choose to take a complete vacation and get out of town. Or you may decide that it is imperative that you stay in town because of job related responsibilities, which you can use internet and technology for, just not for social networking and personal �plugging in.� During this week, artists will create new work that will result from the trials and tribulations of being �Unplugged.�

Details and submission info:

In order to participate in this year�s annual AWAA exhibition, Unplugged Challenge, please submit 3 � 5 images of your current work along with your artist resume and bio/statement. Images must be jpegs sized to 1000 pixels for the longest length and no more than 2 MB in size and saved to a CD.

How You Could Re-grip a Golf Club

Worn grips can cause your hands to get, leading to errant shots. The daily golfer should re-grip discount golf clubs a pair of to help three occasions a year, whereas the Saturday and Sunday golfer ought to re-grip golf equipment once a year. ishiner

Unique way to display your art.

I started a business here in South Lake Union that allows customers to upload digital files to our website, where we then print and mount the artwork to unique materials such as bamboo, aluminum and acrylic. We work with artists from San Francisco to New York and offer an affordable and alternate solution when compared with traditional framing.

Where to find good African paintings?

A hike was the perfect prom dresses,order of the day. The boys were excited about the idea. It would be a good workout and it would be good to be together.We planned to leave immediately after lunch. I noticed Daniel, who will be ten in November, and Wes, who will be seven in December, scramble for their gear. They had spent the morning pouring over outdoor outfitter catalogs looking at sophisticated equipment that would be sufficient to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail prom dresses.
wow power leveling,
I thought back over the years to the hours I spent with my official Boy Scout handbook. I was disgusted to remember that I spent more time reading about nature than I spent experiencing it. That's when I said, "Guys, let's just use the daypacks we have and take a nice hike this afternoon." They say the smallest deed is better than the grandest intention. The boys heartily agreed.Immediately after lunch we made for the trailhead. Chuck joined us and led the expedition. The little guys fell in on the trail ahead of me with their full daypacks, slouch hats, and bottles filled with water. They soon found walking sticks. I laughed as I watched Wes lurching along the trail ahead of me struggling with all his gear. He shuffled along behind his brothers careful not to drop behind. Not a syllable of complaint escaped his lips wow power leveling.
wedding gowns,
We climbed to the crest of a hill up earthen stairs built into the hillside. Finally, I asked Wes if I could carry the pack for a while. He smiled quietly and handed the thing to me.The guys hiked quietly trying to "leave no trace." The air was sweet with the scent of autumn. Goldenrod nodded yellow along the trial. We crossed a footbridge over a stream that ran among small boulders. At one point, we came to the edge of the wood overlooking acres of corn ripening in an undulating field wedding gowns.
wow power leveling,
I kept Wes's pack and finally asked him, "What's in the pack, Wes?" "A calculator," he said. I thought I misunderstood him. I thought maybe trail mix, some apples, or maybe even some jerky would be good things to put in the pack. Maybe he packed a field guide, field glasses, or the writings of Thoreau. Any of these would have made sense, but Wes said, "A calculator."
"What else did you put in here, Wes?""That's all.wow power leveling"
wedding dresses,
"It's kinda heavy, Buddy. Did you put some books in here, too?" "No, just the calculator."
He insisted the only thing the pack contained was a calculator. Then it hit me what he meant by a calculator. He was talking about the huge desktop adding machine that had been underfoo wedding dresses
wedding gowns,
at home for the last few weeks! It was complete with a power cord and a roll of paper. I was trekking the wide outdoors with an adding machine in my backpack"Why did you put an adding machine in your pack?""I just wanted something in my pack," wedding gowns.
