Call for Work : Final Deadline 1 June 2007
Call for artists for exhibition at The Gallery at Regional Arts Commission:
Speak Up St. Louis - American Democracy Project Redux
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." -- Wendell Phillips, (1811-1884), abolitionist, orator and columnist for The Liberator, in a speech before the Massachusetts Antislavery Society in 1852.
The University of Central Missouri hosted a show last year asking artists to raise their voices about the issues that impacted them and their lives, which they were passionate about, that they were willing to make a work of art about. More than 100 artists from across the US
responded including 10 from the STL. They talked about war, Iraq, oil, greed, capitalism, lack of leadership, abuse of women, racism, immigration, the environment and more. There is a link below to a website that documents that project.
This year The Gallery at the Regional Arts Commission will host an exhibit that also asks artists to collectively voice their opinions about the issues that are still with us, that have not yet begun to change.
The show will run July 20 to August 26, 2007 at RAC. We are looking for visual artists, writers, musicians, actors or dancers from the St. Louis metropolitan area that are willing to step up, to say what is on their minds and in their hearts about the things that are impacting all of us. Got Voice? Got a project that involves a neighborhood or entire community? We would like to hear from you.
I am serving as the conduit/curator for the project. If interested please email me at this address: mcrane01@gmail.com

Who am I? I live in STL, work in Warrensburg. Many years as director, curator. Principle research is pragmatic tradition—art that seeks to instruct or show the way: socially, politically, spiritually.
"It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error." - Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1941-1954.
