Sitting or reclining, crossed legged or straight legged, sitting down or sitting on a high chair, squatting, being in the HOT SEAT, flying BY THE SEAT OF YOUR PANTS, or being ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT. Many phrases describe the act of sitting. How do crafthaus artists interpret this? We would like to show examples of the act of "sitting" and leave this open to interpretation. Our idea is to show actual chairs, benches, couches and other seating objects AS WELL AS artwork that references and plays with the act of sitting or any meaning thereof. Work in ALL MEDIA ENCOURAGED!
All selected work will be part of an online exhibition. The exhibit is open to all members of Craft haus and will be posted for one month. There is no entry fee and includes no monetary awards.
ELIGIBILITY:
To be eligible, submitted work must be designed and made by the artist. No work made from kits will be considered. We are looking for work that would be at home in an art gallery.
SUBMISSION PROCESS:

represented by 1-2 images, a full view and a detail.

Calling all Artists!
Urban Legends - The Streets of Manhattan
Posted in: Free Opportunities
Source: ArtDeadline.Com
International Deadline: September 13, 2009 - Culture Inside announces that it's newest competition and exhibition is open. Our October show will be based on artists interpreting the theme 'Urban Legends'.
The images, modern myths and stories, viral morality and horror tales that have come to own the meaning of the term, are part of the defining experience of modern life. Stories of accident and retribution, claims of the experience being close to the source and true ,” this really happened to a friend of a friend of mine” is something we have all shared in conversation or email. Films of fear and horror have capitalized on some of the stories because of how real and close they seem to us.
We take a position that an artist’s perception can be both inside and outside the experience. Works submitted for the exhibition are free to define the term and interpret it in a manner that can vary from playful, to literal, apocryphal, symbolic or literal. Many of these stories come from a delicious decadence that owes more to 19th century masters like Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker than to rationalist or realist authors or philosophers of our own day. In any case artists are free to let their imaginations run wild and take the theme wherever it can go.
Venues
Our plan is that part of the winning pieces will be placed on signs and displayed publicly on the streets of Manhattan New York starting October. The other pieces will be displayed in Frank Shifreen's studio and artist gallery in Manhattan for the length of the show.
The two-dimensional pieces can be in any artistic media but should be printed on vinyl or painted on canvas. We also plan to film and document each winning piece so that it will have a life on the web as well as the exhibit.
Timeline
* Deadline for registration and submission is September 13, 2009
* September 21, 2009: Announcement of Winners and public prize winner.
* October, 10 2009: Opening walk - the street show begins (Manhattan / New York, USA)
* November 1, 2009 : It's Halloween & Finissage (Closing day)

Title: GSA's Art In Architecture Program
Deadline: Ongoing
Type: Percent & Public RFP's
Category: Multiple Media
Description
National Deadline: Ongoing - GSA's Art in Architecture Program commissions publicly scaled artworks that are integral parts of the architectural fabric or surrounding landscapes of new Federal buildings.
This program enables GSA to provide the American public with government office buildings and courthouses that are not only pleasing and functional, but that also enrich the cultural, social, and commercial resources of the communities where they are located. Such public statements of American culture are meaningful contributors to the vibrancy of our democracy.
The program-known from 1962 to 1966 as the Fine Arts in New Federal Buildings program-was established in response to a 1962 report by President Kennedy's Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space. Its Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture asserted that, " Where appropriate, fine art should be incorporated in the designs [of Federal buildings], with emphasis on the work of living American artists."
GSA reintroduced this initiative as the Art in Architecture Program in 1972. Under this program, GSA allocates one-half of one percent of the estimated construction cost of a new or substantially expanded Federal building for commissioning one or more works of art. Art professionals, civic and community representatives, and the project architect serve on project-specific panels that explore the opportunities for integrating art into a building project, and nominate artists for GSA's evaluation.
The Art in Architecture Program seeks to engage artists as members of the design team early in a building project. By increasing the level of collaboration among artists, architects, landscape architects, engineers, and practitioners of other disciplines early in the process, project participants are afforded opportunities to fuse their individual contributions into a more cohesive whole.
GSA maintains a slide registry for artists interested in being considered for Art in Architecture commissions. This registry is the principal resource for the review panels that assist GSA in selecting artists for each new project. Download Application. Artists may send their requests for registration information to the following address:

History:
The New Art Group (NAG) is a group of 7 New Jersey artists that is 15 years old and they have done 36 group shows. The group was formed out of the Visual Arts Committee at the Watchung Arts Center (WAC). They were responsible for arts show in the lower and upper galleries for 7 years. During this time Jim Fuess was the curator at the WAC. We are now returning to our roots after a 7 year hiatus.
The Gallery:
The upper gallery where these shows will be held is 30x40 feet with 12 foot ceilings, track lighting, and a Walker hanging system. The room is also used for various concerts, comedy shows and other events. This means that a large number of people see the art shows.
The Watchung Arts Center:
Is a multi-use arts facility with an upper and lower art gallery. We also present quality works in fine arts, exciting music, and comedy events as well as classes in drawing, photography, and yoga.
The 2009 schedule:
- April:
Jim Fuess will be curating a “Narrative Art” show.
This is show is open to receive submission. The due date January 1, 2009. Please join us at the reception on Sunday April 1 1-4 pm.
I want the work to ask “What has happened? What is happening? What will happen?” I’m looking for mystery and possibilities rather than something obvious. If I can find works that stop time and involve a thousand yard stare I would be happy. The work doesn’t have to be realistic. This will be at least a 4 person show, maybe more.
To submit works, please send at least 5-6 works. Electronic, CD or slides are all ok. Send submissions for the "Narrative Art" show to:
Jim Fuess
682 Plainfield Ave
Berkeley Heights NJ 07922
jimfuess@comcast.net
- May
Paul Pinkman will be curating “Hard Times/Down Home”.
This show is open to receive submissions. The due date for entries is February 1. All submissions must be postmarked by that date. No more than 3 pieces submitted per artist.
The reception will be held on Sunday May 3 from 1-4 pm.
2008 proved to be a most stressful year in many ways. How are we, as artists, perceiving and dealing with the new reality? What has and hasn’t changed in our lives as a result of the crash of 2008 and how do we show that in our work? Hard Times/Down Home asks the artist to consider what, if anything, the economic collapse of 2008, coming on the heels of financial excesses of the prior 5 or so years has left us with. Is "Greed is Good" still valid and where do we go from here?
Send CD or slides for the "Hard Times/Down Home" show to:

Art and music take center stage BY STEPHANIE LODER •Asbury Park Press- STAFF WRITER • May 18, 2009
TOMS RIVER — The sky was a canvas of blue, gold and gray for the Arts & Music Festival Saturday.
Advertisement
"With all the rain we've been having, we almost went somewhere else," said artist Lori Tabermind of New Hope as she walked through Huddy Park, listening to music and watching dance.
Hundreds of people enjoyed art of all kinds and watched artists in action during the newest attraction of Downtown Toms River.
The multivenue, multiart event began at noon and continued until 9 p.m.
The Arts & Music Festival took center stage, offering a juried art show, free live musical entertainment and dance.
Tents with artwork filled Huddy Park under a brilliant sunny sky that at times became overcast. The threat of rain didn't deter visitors.
"Mom, can I have a portrait for my wall," asked art student Seth Meyers, 14, of Toms River. "I think everyone here is so diverse and talented."
The art ranged from pastels and paints to pencil and pen. There was interpretive dance and the comedy and music of The Bill & Ron Show.
"It's something for everyone," said Alice Kneble of Toms River as she crossed the street at Huddy Park. "Now we're going to check out the gallery at the library, and I know we won't be disappointed."
Rosemarie Sprouts traveled from Sweetwater to be featured. Portraits and other scenes were perfectly showcased by the sun with the backdrop of her white tent.
"It's a good show and a great opportunity to be here," she said.
Enhancing Downtown Toms River's position as a cultural center of Ocean County is one of the major initiatives in the master plan for the downtown.
The Arts & Music Festival is among several special events throughout the year produced by Downtown Toms River — officially the Toms River Business Improvement District.
The nonprofit organization was created to encourage economic revitalization and attract area residents to the historic business district.
The next Downtown Toms River event is the 20th Annual New Jersey State Chili and Salsa Cook-Off on May 30.

This film tells a story about the events surrounding the creation of the painting "Girl With A Pearl Earring" by 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer. Little is known about the girl in the painting. It is speculated that she was a maid who lived in the house of the painter along with his family and other servants, though there is no historical evidence . This masterful film attempts to recreate the mysterious girl's life. Griet, played by Scarlett Johansson, is a maid in the house of painter Johannes Vermeer, played by British actor Colin Firth. Vermeer's wealthy patron and sole means of support, Van Ruijven, commissions him to paint Griet with the intent that he will have her for himself before it is finished. She must somehow secretly pose for the crucial painting without the knowledge of Vermeer's wife, avoid Van Ruijven's grasp, and protect herself from the cruel gossip of the world of a 17th century servant.
Schedule of upcoming movies:
Movies are typically the 2nd Tuesday of the month and begin at 7:00 pm. As always, admission is free. Bring yourself and invite a friend.

NJ Arts, History and Tourism Promotion Support in Jeopardy Once Again.
YOUR help is needed NOW!
Yes, you read it right. Once again state arts, history and tourism promotion support is in jeopardy. Governor Corzine's FY2010 budget proposes levels below the minimums specified in the 2003 Hotel/Motel Occupancy Fee--the dedicated revenue stream designed to stabilize State cultural support and prevent this from happening.
Our cultural industries braced for a budget cut, knowing full well that all funding sources would be tapped in the current fiscal climate. The "below the belt" cut, though, was not expected because legislation stipulates that the tax can no longer be collected if the minimum levels of support are not met in the State appropriation.
The budget proposal is now in the hands of the State legislature and ArtPride needs YOUR help TODAY to let your elected officials know that NJ arts, history and tourism are important to you and to our economy. Please visit the ArtPride web site www.artpridenj.com and click on ACTION ALERT. You will find an email message that hits all the right notes and tells our state legislators that these creative industries stimulate our economy and make a real difference in communities throughout our State.
If you'd rather write a letter, you can print it out and mail it, using our talking points. We encourage you to tell YOUR personal story of how New Jersey arts and history make YOUR town a great place to live. Other information is located on the ArtPride web site--click on ACTION and then Arts Advocacy Tools.
Whatever you do, please ACT NOW! Arts and history groups are already suffering from decreased contributed support and competition for the comsumer's shrinking disposable income. They need YOUR voice of support to keep State dollars at the minimum required by law.
Questions? Call ArtPride at 609.443.3582 or email us at artpride@artpridenj.com Thanks in advance for your help (don't forget...don't wait, ACT NOW!)

Georgian Court gallery hosts Holocaust exhibit
Tri Town News:
LAKEWOOD — Georgian Court University will present a multimedia "Holocaust Memorial Exhibit" from April 6- 24 in the university's M. Christina Geis Art Gallery.
The exhibit, timed to correspond with Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 21, will include children's books, historic and modern photographs, maps, posters, and text panels.
"This important exhibit will take the viewer along a journey of one of humanity's darkest times," said Kathleen Settles, gallery director, and one of the exhibit organizers. "The purpose of the exhibit is to promote awareness, teach tolerance, inspire compassion and hopefully enlist the viewer to an allegiance of goodwill toward all of humanity."
According to Lisa A. Festa, an assistant professor of art history who also helped to organize the display, the exhibit will feature a history of anti-Semitism throughout the ages, a timeline of the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, and focus on the implementation of laws against Jews as well as the Nazis' censorship of art and culture.
The exhibition will continue with a spotlight on the ghettos of Warsaw, Poland, and Terezín, Czechoslovakia, as well as the concentration camps of Dachau, Germany, and Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland. Itwill also feature the liberation of the camps near the end of the war. The exhibition will further pay tribute to several rescuers and the "righteous among nations," and will end with a display about genocides in other lands after World War II.
"It is hoped that viewers will leave the exhibition with a sense of compassion and enlightenment, as well as a motivation and personal drive to help change current events in order to ensure that genocide never happens again," Festa said.
The exhibit coincides with Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day set aside to commemorate the lives and heroism of the six million Jewish people who died in the Holocaust between 1933 and 1945. The exhibit closes on the anniversary of the onset of the "Great Catastrophe," the Armenian genocide of 1.5 million people that began in 1915.
In addition to Settles and Festa, the exhibit was organized and compiled with the assistance of José Gonzalez, lecturer in art.
The gallery is on the second floor of the Arts and Science Center on Georgian Court's Lakewood campus. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

Yvonne Yaar, Glass
The Monmouth Museum is beginning the third season of its New Jersey Emerging Artists Series in the Nilson Gallery with an exhibition of works in glass by artist Yvonne Yaar.
"Switchboard Without an Operator"
Yaar is especially interested in the medium of glass, intrigued by its transparency, color and light-reflecting qualities.
She creates both glass jewelry and wall art/sculpture. Each work is made in front of a torch, with a kiln, or with various tools used to manipulate molten glass. She favors organic, asymmetrical shapes and sacred geometry. Her art incorporates themes of motherhood, love of nature, humor and addiction in her work. She has lived on three different continents and believes her exposure to different cultures has also played an important role in her art.
Yaar will share insights on her work in a gallery talk and give a demonstration at the museum 7-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 15. This program is free and open to the public, but registration is required, since seating is limited. Call the museum at 732- 747-2266 to register and for additional information. The exhibit will run through April 26.
"Yellow Cityscape"
The New Jersey Emerging Artists Series is an ongoing program for artists who have not previously held a one-person show.
The artists selected represent the diversity of talent in the state and demonstrate their creativity in a wide variety of media. Six artists working in a variety of media are selected each year for a month-long exhibition in the Nilson Gallery.
The Monmouth Museum is located on the Brookdale Community College campus, Newman Springs Road, in Lincroft.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is $7.

The Pollock-Krasner Foundation
Phone: Fax (212) 288-2836
Origin: New York, New York
Additional News: Show All Items Provided by The Pollock-Krasner Foundation
Announcement Information
Title: Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant
Deadline: Ongoing
Type: Grants
Category: Multiple Media
Description
International Deadline: Ongoing - The Pollock-Krasner Foundation�s dual criteria for grants are recognizable artistic merit and demonstrable financial need, whether professional, personal or both. The Foundation�s mission is to aid, internationally, those individuals who have worked as professional artists over a significant period of time.
Application Guidelines
The Foundation welcomes, throughout the year, applications from visual artists who are painters, sculptors and artists who work on paper, including printmakers. There are no deadlines. The Foundation encourages applications from artists who have genuine financial needs that are not necessarily catastrophic. Grants are intended for a one-year period of time. The Foundation will consider need on the part of an applicant for all legitimate expenditures relating to his or her professional work and personal living, including medical expenses. The size and length of the grant is determined by the individual circumstances of the artist.
Grant Restrictions
The Foundation does not accept applications from commercial artists, photographers, video artists, performance artists, filmmakers, crafts-makers or any artist whose work primarily falls into these categories. The Foundation does not make grants to students or fund academic study.
The Foundation does not make grants to pay for past debts, legal fees, the purchase of real estate, moves to other cities, or to pay for the costs of installations, commissions or projects ordered by others. With very few exceptions, the Foundation will not fund travel expenses.
Selection Process
The Officers and Directors are advised in the selection process by a distinguished Committee of Selection comprised of recognized specialists in the fields of the Foundation�s concern. Artists are required to submit a cover letter, an application, and slides of current work. All completed applications will be promptly acknowledged and considered. If further information is required after the completed application has been received, the artist will be contacted directly by the staff. Further information including financial data may be requested at any time during the review process.
Reapplication Procedure
Applicants may reapply to the Foundation, whether recipients of grants or those who have been declined. All reapplicants must send slides of work not previously submitted.
The procedure requires that grantees who reapply must wait 12 months from the end of their grant period. Reapplicants who were previously declined must wait at least 12 months from the date of their application letter to reapply. The 12-month waiting period may be waived for reapplicants applying under emergency circumstances.
Past recipients of our grants should understand that the Foundation does not wish to become an instrument of extended or permanent support for particular individuals. Recipients who reapply must have either circumstances so changed as to warrant further support or have a genuine emergency situation.
How to Apply
Artists are required to submit a cover letter, an application, and slides of current work. All applications will be promptly acknowledged and considered. Please do not send application forms by fax or e-mail.

Title: Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant
Deadline: Ongoing
Type: Grants
Category: Multiple Media
Description
International Deadline: Ongoing - The Pollock-Krasner Foundation�s dual criteria for grants are recognizable artistic merit and demonstrable financial need, whether professional, personal or both. The Foundation�s mission is to aid, internationally, those individuals who have worked as professional artists over a significant period of time.
Application Guidelines
The Foundation welcomes, throughout the year, applications from visual artists who are painters, sculptors and artists who work on paper, including printmakers. There are no deadlines. The Foundation encourages applications from artists who have genuine financial needs that are not necessarily catastrophic. Grants are intended for a one-year period of time. The Foundation will consider need on the part of an applicant for all legitimate expenditures relating to his or her professional work and personal living, including medical expenses. The size and length of the grant is determined by the individual circumstances of the artist.
Grant Restrictions
The Foundation does not accept applications from commercial artists, photographers, video artists, performance artists, filmmakers, crafts-makers or any artist whose work primarily falls into these categories. The Foundation does not make grants to students or fund academic study.
The Foundation does not make grants to pay for past debts, legal fees, the purchase of real estate, moves to other cities, or to pay for the costs of installations, commissions or projects ordered by others. With very few exceptions, the Foundation will not fund travel expenses.
Selection Process
The Officers and Directors are advised in the selection process by a distinguished Committee of Selection comprised of recognized specialists in the fields of the Foundation�s concern. Artists are required to submit a cover letter, an application, and slides of current work. All completed applications will be promptly acknowledged and considered. If further information is required after the completed application has been received, the artist will be contacted directly by the staff. Further information including financial data may be requested at any time during the review process.
Reapplication Procedure
Applicants may reapply to the Foundation, whether recipients of grants or those who have been declined. All reapplicants must send slides of work not previously submitted.
The procedure requires that grantees who reapply must wait 12 months from the end of their grant period. Reapplicants who were previously declined must wait at least 12 months from the date of their application letter to reapply. The 12-month waiting period may be waived for reapplicants applying under emergency circumstances.
Past recipients of our grants should understand that the Foundation does not wish to become an instrument of extended or permanent support for particular individuals. Recipients who reapply must have either circumstances so changed as to warrant further support or have a genuine emergency situation.
How to Apply
Artists are required to submit a cover letter, an application, and slides of current work. All applications will be promptly acknowledged and considered. Please do not send application forms by fax or e-mail.
A crucial part of the application process is based on the Committee of Selection�s review of each artist�s slides. The Foundation urges artists to send the highest quality slides of their work.

Magnitude Seven - Call for Small Works
International Deadline: April 24, 2009 - Every year Manifest calls for little works of art from around the world. Like short poetry, they are a challenge to craft with the same presence of their larger counterparts. Each exhibit brings in hundreds of powerful yet diminutive masterpieces for our jury to mull over. Inevitably we end up with a gallery full of diverse, compelling, and exquisite little gems. Manifest’s patrons eagerly await the Magnitude SEVEN event each year. So without further ado, we offer this call to artists to submit works no larger than seven inches in any dimension (any proportion). Standard presentation devices like mats and frames that are not considered part of the work of art are not limited by the 7" criteria.
Eligibility:
Magnitude SEVEN is open to everyone. Professionals as well as students are encouraged to enter. The only limitation is that entries must represent original works of art or design no larger than 7 inches in any dimension.
Media:
Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media.
Jury and Curator:
Manifest's selection process involves a complex two-part system. This exhibit will be juried by a 5-7 member panel of professional and academic advisors with a broad range of expertise. The jury will then pass along their recommendations to the exhibit curators who will make the final selections from the jury-approved pool.
Catalog:
Manifest will produce a full-color catalog documenting the work selected for exhibit. Exhibitors will receive a 50% discount on one copy of the catalog. For examples of past catalogs visit Manifest Press. Discounted price is only valid through the close of the exhibition.
Delivery and Return of Work:
