Opening Reception Friday, March 2, 6-10 PM

For Equivalents, Jamie Kreher will present hundreds of small photographs for the audience to peruse. The nature of these photographs will examine an overwhelming cultural and personal photographic accumulation. The work will explore the ubiquitous nature of hand held photographic devices, the dérive, the snap shot, and the photograph as art object. Viewers will be encouraged to physically handle the photographs to investigate their existence as everyday objects and raise questions about preciousness, rarity, meaning, and monumentality.

National Competition for Photographs and Photo-Based Artwork
At Umbrella Arts, New York City

Conceived and juried by Harvey Stein, Director of Photography, Umbrella Arts; photographer, educator, author

The exhibit HOME continues curator Harvey Stein's investigation of themes that explore the basic yet complex and necessary needs and desires of the human condition. Former exhibits in this series, all using photography as the medium of choice include BED, BED 2, and DINNER, each conceived and juried by Mr. Stein and presented within the last three years at the Umbrella Arts Gallery in Manhattan's East Village.

These themes throw the spotlight on our daily experiences that are omnipresent, totally necessary, but are mostly overlooked or when acknowledged are usually taken for granted. Nothing is more basic, necessary and involuntary than sleep, food, and shelter. Through this ongoing exploration, surprising and creative images have made our needs more conscious and allow the artist and viewer to be more connected to the richness of every day life, experience and surroundings.

HOME is family, HOME is universal, Home is unique, HOME is comfort, HOME is sleep, HOME is personal, HOME is a place to go after work, HOME is sacred, HOME is where we can be sad, angry, sick, private, HOME is where we learn and grow, HOME is where we work—and play. HOME is safety, HOME is private, HOME is often where we want to be, HOME is what everyone needs but not what everyone has.

"The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not to be questioned."--Maya Angelou

"People usually are the happiest at home." --William Shakespeare

JURORS
Allyson Mace, Publisher and Founder, Sauce Magazine, St. Louis, MO; and Linda Pilcher, owner, Something Elegant Catering, food stylist & artist, St. Louis, MO.

ALLYSON MACE
Allyson created & financed Sauce Magazine from her South City apartment a decade ago to help elevate the culinary community she had worked in for many years prior to the inception of the magazine. Allyson has always been fascinated by food and the publishing industry (her father was a lifelong multi-city newspaper publisher, and her mother currently owns and operates The St. Genevieve Herald). While juggling multiple restaurant jobs, she developed an online magazine and restaurant guide in 1999. She launched Sauce in print in 2001 with her (former) partner. Since that time, the Sauce brand has evolved into several ancillary products that serve & elevate the food loving community in St. Louis.

In February 2010, Allyson became the sole owner of Sauce Magazine and all its respective trademarks under her company, Bent Mind Creative Group, LLC. In June 2011, Allyson was named to the "Most Influential Women In Business" list by the St. Louis Business Journal. She was also selected to serve on the prestigious STL Women In Media Panel representing print media.

A native New Yorker, Allyson currently resides in South City and has long since considered St. Louis her home. She is an alum of The University of Missouri, St. Louis. She is an avid photographer and a fan and supporter of the local arts community. She enjoys great wine, conversation and road trips in her 1966 Airstream with friends and her dog, Winnifred.

LINDA PILCHER
Linda writes: "My college major was anthropology, but I minored in art. My favorite media were painting, drawing, and printmaking. I moved to Boston after college, and my first job was secretary to the Curator of Textiles at The Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The best part of the job was the opportunity to inventory their collection-from Coptic cloth to costumes.

I have owned Something Elegant Catering since 1984, which has increased my appreciation of not only the taste of food, but also the visual presentation of food. In 2000, I apprenticed with two of the leading food stylists in St. Louis, which was an incredible opportunity. I am now the principal video food stylist for Schnucks Markets. I also provide food styling services for other commercial video, film and print projects. I have worked with nationally known chefs and cookbook authors, including Bobby Flay, Lidia Bastianich, Rick Bayless, and Cat Cora for television appearances and special events in St. Louis."

Linda's educational background is in counseling. She earned a Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis in Counseling Psychology and was a practicing psychotherapist for 10 years, specializing in the treatment of eating disorders.

CALL TO ARTISTS: Extending the Vision: Reaching Every Victim Help Us Honor Crime Victims During National Crime Victims' Rights Week April 22-28, 2012

For more information, or if you have any questions, please contact Jessica Meyers, Crime Victim Advocacy Center at 314-289-5654 or Vara Lyons, Circuit Attorney's Office at 314-589-6953.

It is easy to forget that a lowered crime rate does not erase the victim's experience. Crime, regardless of how rare or prevalent, violates the victim and community's sense of safety and well-being. It eliminates trust in others. For crime victims and their loved ones, recovery is a long path and many may not receive the resources they need. The St. Louis region alone experienced over 14,000 violent crimes in 2010.

In recognition of the need to support victims and to have their voices heard, National Crime Victims' Rights Week has been observed annually each April at the federal level since 1981. Sponsored by the United States' Office of Justice Programs, NCVRW promotes victims' rights while honoring those who advocate on their behalf. For 2012, the theme is "Extending the Vision: Reaching Every Victim." As part of this mission, the St. Louis Planning Committee for National Crime Victims' Rights Week is currently accepting submissions for an art exhibition that will highlight crime's impact on the community as well as the victim's experience and road to recovery.

The main exhibit will be held at the Urban League's Vaughn Cultural Center at 3701 Grandel Square. There is limited space. A jury of arts professionals and crime victims' advocates will select no more than 16 works to display at the opening on Sunday, April 22. Works chosen will be on display at the center for a week following the opening. Prizes will be awarded for three works. Some art submitted but not selected by the jury will be displayed at various locations around the region leading up to National Crime Victims' Rights Week. Work must speak to issues associated with victimization and/or recovery, this year's theme of "Extending the Vision:
Reaching Every Victim," the need to advocate for victims, and/or a personal experience as a crime victim. Professional experience or an arts background is not a pre-requisite, though we welcome submissions from local artists and art students.

Guidelines:
* Participants must be at least 18 years of age.
* At least one image of the work should be e-mailed to stlncvrw@gmail.com no later than March 22. Images must be saved as a JPEG and sent as an attachment. E-mailed submissions should use "NCVRW Exhibit" as the subject line.
* Given the limited space, submitted works must be no larger than 16x20 inches. Work must be flat and framed or on stretched canvas and ready to hang. Exceptions will be made only at the planning committee's discretion.
* Limited assistance with framing costs may be available. Please note in your submission whether your work is already framed or you are in need of assistance.
* Submissions must include a title and a short summary of the work. If you feel more comfortable doing so, we are able to exhibit it under the name of "Anonymous." Professional artists and students should submit a CV with, if applicable, the name of your representative gallery. If the work is available for purchase after the show, please note where interested parties can contact you.
* You will receive a confirmation e-mail within two weeks of your submission. You will receive later notification if your piece is chosen as part of the exhibition.

For more information, or if you have any questions, please contact Jessica Meyers, Crime Victim Advocacy Center at 314-289-5654 or Vara Lyons, Circuit Attorney's Office at 314-589-6953.

JURORS
Allyson Mace, Publisher and Founder, Sauce Magazine, St. Louis, MO; and Linda Pilcher, owner, Something Elegant Catering, food stylist & artist, St. Louis, MO.

ALLYSON MACE
Allyson created & financed Sauce Magazine from her South City apartment a decade ago to help elevate the culinary community she had worked in for many years prior to the inception of the magazine. Allyson has always been fascinated by food and the publishing industry (her father was a lifelong multi-city newspaper publisher, and her mother currently owns and operates The St. Genevieve Herald). While juggling multiple restaurant jobs, she developed an online magazine and restaurant guide in 1999. She launched Sauce in print in 2001 with her (former) partner. Since that time, the Sauce brand has evolved into several ancillary products that serve & elevate the food loving community in St. Louis.

In February 2010, Allyson became the sole owner of Sauce Magazine and all its respective trademarks under her company, Bent Mind Creative Group, LLC. In June 2011, Allyson was named to the "Most Influential Women In Business" list by the St. Louis Business Journal. She was also selected to serve on the prestigious STL Women In Media Panel representing print media.

A native New Yorker, Allyson currently resides in South City and has long since considered St. Louis her home. She is an alum of The University of Missouri, St. Louis. She is an avid photographer and a fan and supporter of the local arts community. She enjoys great wine, conversation and road trips in her 1966 Airstream with friends and her dog, Winnifred.

LINDA PILCHER
Linda writes: "My college major was anthropology, but I minored in art. My favorite media were painting, drawing, and printmaking. I moved to Boston after college, and my first job was secretary to the Curator of Textiles at The Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The best part of the job was the opportunity to inventory their collection-from Coptic cloth to costumes.

I have owned Something Elegant Catering since 1984, which has increased my appreciation of not only the taste of food, but also the visual presentation of food. In 2000, I apprenticed with two of the leading food stylists in St. Louis, which was an incredible opportunity. I am now the principal video food stylist for Schnucks Markets. I also provide food styling services for other commercial video, film and print projects. I have worked with nationally known chefs and cookbook authors, including Bobby Flay, Lidia Bastianich, Rick Bayless, and Cat Cora for television appearances and special events in St. Louis."

Linda's educational background is in counseling. She earned a Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis in Counseling Psychology and was a practicing psychotherapist for 10 years, specializing in the treatment of eating disorders.

Help Us Pick The Next SOC Dean

As you may know, Dean Debra Carpenter is stepping down from her job as dean in June to return to the SOC faculty. A search committee has been created to locate and screen candidates for the next dean of the School of Communications. One of the first steps in this process is to get input from the school's various constituency groups. This input will be used to create a job description and provide guidance when candidates are screened and interviewed. Students like you are a very important part of the success of our school and we need your thoughts and suggestions about what qualities, attributes, and experience are preferred in the next dean of the school.

At noon, this Thursday, Dec. 1, in Sunnen Lounge we'll have an open forum for students to tell members of the search committee what they would like to see in the next dean. Please stop by and tell us what you think.

Members of the SOC Dean search committee come from all areas of the university. Representing the School of Communications on the committee are: Joe Schuster, chair and professor, Communications & Journalism Department, School of Communications; Jorge Oliver, chair and associate professor, Electronic/Photographic Media Department, School of Communications; Gary Ford, associate professor and director of Graduate Studies, Communications & Journalism Department, School of Communications; and Patty Senft, an undergraduate student.

El Salvador short-term study abroad class (Spring II + travel experience)

2011-11-16T09:44:00.004-06:00

Bordering the North Pacific Ocean, between Guatemala and Honduras, El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America. If a picture is worth a thousand words, an international immersion is priceless.

New Scholarships Available For Photojournalists Returning To School

2011-10-25T17:09:00.001-05:00

The National Press Photographers Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of new scholarship money for photojournalists who have returned to school. NPPF president Mike Smith said the funds are being made available through the Foundation, the National Press Photographers Association, and a grant from the Author’s Coalition of America.

"If you are a photojournalist with three years experience and your work has been published in newspapers, magazines or through agencies, and if you have returned to school in the past year, you are eligible to apply," Smith said.

“These scholarships are particularly important now when so many photographers have been forced to learn new skills just to keep their jobs, much less find a new one. We are fortunate to have some money to support photographers who are trying to keep up with the head-spinning changes in their industry.”

Six grants of $4,000 each, called the NPPF-NPPA Career Expansion Scholarships, will be awarded this year.

The application deadline is November 15, 2011. Applicants must include a resume, completed application forms (which can be downloaded at http://nppf.or g) and recommendation letters from their instructors.

Send your application materials to: Tom Hardin, NPPF vice president, 1622 Forest Hill Drive, Louisville, KY, 40205. Hardin can be contacted by eMail to answer questions about applying.

Call for Artists: Crossing Identities – Mexico
Deadline: November 15, 2011

International ArtExpo is selecting all interesting video/short.films and photo works to include in the next 2011 Exhibition: Crossing Identities – International Videoart Festival and Photo Exhibition at Terraza Bugambilias in Morelia, Mexico (December 02 – 04, 2011)
The deadline for applications is November 15, 2011.

The selections will be based on the main concept of "Crossing Identities." In contemporary society boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity, what makes every person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid, multiple, making also the cultural, religious, ethnic borders changeable. This change, this mutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities creating new possible crossings, new blends. And it's just this "contemporaneity" that makes our civilization conceived as subjected to a process of continuous evolution and cultural hybridization. There is no limit between an identity and the other one any more but it is possible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity.

The number of works with which you can participate is unlimited.
All video works must be on DVD (PAL or NTSC), no matter what the original source medium. The maximum length of videos should be 10 minutes.
All photo works on every kind of support are accepted. The maximum dimensions allowed per each image are 150 cm per side.
Send your works submissions with a CV/biography, videography and some still images (only for videoartists) and some samples of photo works (only for artists) to:

Luca Curci Architects
Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 33
70122 Bari, Italy

The participation in International Videoart Festival and Photo Exhibition requires an entry fee for every artwork submitted and selected. Participation open to professional artists, architects and designers, associate groups and studios.

International ArtExpo is a not for profit organization that provides a significant forum for cultural dialogue between all artists from different cultures and countries. We depend on the support of you. ArtExpo is grateful to all of the institutions, corporations, and individuals who support our efforts. We work with a number of national and international galleries as well as publishers, museums, curators and writers from all over the world. We help artists through solo and group exhibitions, gallery representation, magazine reviews and advertisements, press releases, internet promotion, as well as various curatorial projects.

Katherine Dunham Internship: Deadline 31 October 2011

2011-09-09T15:29:00.001-05:00

The Regional Arts Commission (RAC) is accepting applications for the Katherine Dunham Internship for the 2012 winter semester.

The internship, which includes a $2500 stipend, was created by Sara Burke, a RAC commissioner, and her husband, Jack, to assist African Americans who are interested in pursuing a career in arts management. It was named as a tribute to Katherine Dunham, the renowned
choreographer, dancer and social activist with whom Ms. Burke studied dance in East St. Louis.

The Katherine Dunham Intern will work closely with the RAC grants team, assisting in the grant process, during which hundreds of applications are received and reviewed by the staff, citizen panels and the commissioners. Reading grants and attending reviews gives the intern an excellent working knowledge about how to approach grant applications, an important skill for an arts administrator.

In addition, The Katherine Dunham Internship experience may include work in marketing, public relations, the RAC Gallery, the Community Artist Training (CAT) Institute, a volunteer program, or special projects with the intent of providing broad experience while also tailoring work to the specific interests and skills of the intern. Work may also include assisting in the development of programs and materials aimed at increasing the diversity of RAC's programs and audiences.

The internship requires a commitment of 300 hours during the winter semester and is open to students, recent graduates and artists working in the field.

Applicants must submit a resume, a letter of recommendation from a professor in the field or a recent employer, as well as write an essay (250-500 words) answering the question, "Why are you interested in arts administration and how do you think this internship will help you achieve your goals?" They should be sent via email to internmgr@stlrac.org. The deadline for applications is Monday, October 31.

For more information about the Katherine Dunham Internship and other unpaid internships at RAC, http://www.art-stl.com/rac/interns.cfm or call Diane Kline at 314-863-5811.

Artist Lecture: Thomas Demand

Wednesday, September 14
6p Reception, 6:30p Lecture
Steinberg Auditorium

Contemporary artist Thomas Demand is known for his large-scale photographs. Using paper and cardboard to reconstruct scenes he finds in images taken from various media sources, he photographs the resultant models and then destroys them, complicating the relationship between reproduction and original. Demand has been the subject of one-person exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, among numerous others, and is currently the Getty Scholar at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles.

Quarantined: Alice Austen and the Secret History of Photography
Wednesday, September 7
6pm Reception, 6:30pm Lecture
Steinberg Auditorium, Washington University

The art-historical study of photography has typically focused on photographs that were published or exhibited in their contemporary moment. This focus has largely excluded private, underground, and subcultural materials as well as vast expanses of photography produced outside the context of the professional art world. By attending to the amateur photographer Alice Austen (1866-1952) and to pictures that were little known or shown at the time of their making, this talk, from art historian Richard Meyer, argues for an alternative approach to the history of photography.

Geneva Media Conference invitation: Deadline 15 October 2011

2011-08-22T11:27:00.002-05:00

Webster University Geneva
International Media Conference: Media Trends 2012

New Media Tools and Human Rights: More or Less Human?
March 26-27, 2012

Abstract: The aim is to investigate how new media tools have been used in the recent revolutions and uprisings taking place in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. We will look to the effects of these tools on the individual, society and culture and try to understand how they might be assessed. We will also consider how the media might deal with the ethical implications of using new media tools.

Call for papers: The questions that we wish to have addressed at the conference are based on the works discussed in this concept note. Papers, projects and presentations do not need to be based on these theorists, which are used more as a springboard for discussions.

Proposal deadline: Initial proposals should be submitted to lowstedt@webster.edu, rosso@webster.ch and visconti@webster.ch by October 15, 2011. The first proposal does not need to be a completed project, just an outline of what you would like to investigate. For further information please feel free to contact Tammy Rosso, Media Program Heat at rosso@webster.ch.

The conference aims to investigate and debate:
• New media and information technology from an ethical perspective by analyzing the effects of these tools on users and receivers,
• Ways in which new media tools can be used to maximize their benefits and minimize their harm on the individual, society and culture,
• Whether these tools have been used to primarily promote or inhibit political change in repressive states.

Questions to be addressed include:
• Are new media tools considered responsible for affecting political changes? Should they be? Are the new tools doing a better job at affecting change (positive and negative) than the old tools?
• Do new media allow for greater government transparency, participation and accountability? Do they serve to enhance or extend the public sphere in repressive regimes?
• What happens when everyone has become a journalist and information from around the globe is available to anyone at all times? How do we make sense of the mountains of information that we are bombarded with every day? What information are we to consider important? In other words, how are we to pass judgment?
• What happens when one uses these new tools? What sort of human beings are we becoming: less free and more robotic, i.e. increasingly programmed by others, or increasingly free to experience and appreciate more and more deeply? Or both?
• Are these new tools really so new or are they just alterations to traditional means of communicating, such as Africa’s rich oral culture? Which might lead one to question whether these “new tools” are actually changing ourselves as social beings or is it a question of changing our conceptions of what it means to be social beings?
• In the 1960s Marshall McLuhan claimed that electronic communication fosters and encourages unification and involvement in society. Was he right? If we look to the use of these new tools, what type of a society are we becoming? Are we achieving collective identity or are we merely fragmenting further than ever?
• McLuhan refers to the global village as an acoustic space and as such a return to a “tribal base.” Prior to mass mediated messages hearing was believing, but with the invention of writing seeing became believing. What then do we make of a cell phone in terms of McLuhan’s ideas? What happens when the global village is both visual and aural?
• What would McLuhan make of the impact of new media tools on the public sphere?
• Has the public sphere become more inclusive, allowing for a diversity of expression from those who formerly had no voice or has it become more divisive?
• What about Todd Gitlin’s public and private ‘sphericules’: should they be sacrificed for the greater good of the unitary public sphere? What would McLuhan have thought? How relevant can the public sphere become in the face of today’s globalized world?

Calling All Photo Majors!

2011-08-21T16:49:00.001-05:00

Welcome back, or welcome to Webster if you're new here.

You're invited to a meeting of all photo majors next Friday, the 26, at 11:30 am in Sverdrup 260.

Shameless Grounds Sex Positive Exhibit
July 12 - August 23

What do you think of when you hear the phrase "sex positive"?

From our About page: Does your love life fall "outside the box"? Maybe you're a guy who
likes guys, or a girl who likes girls. Or maybe you like both. Maybe a firm hand and a riding crop are the things that reliably take you to your happy place. Maybe you aren't chained to one spot on the gender or orientation spectra. Maybe you don't consider monogamy to be the only
realistic option.

How would you convey this idea of love through art to the vanilla public?

This exhibition will be merging somewhat with the Cherry Jubilee and our official grand opening party. While the Cherry Jubilee will be exhibiting work from alternative sexually oriented artists and not at all erotic, we want to focus on the loving, erotic side of sex positivity.

Please see our website for more information about us and what we strive to project.
Liability/Insurance: Artists are responsible for insuring their own work.

Specifications: Open to all 2D and 3D artists. Work must be wired and ready to hang, no sawtooth hangers. If submitting a 3D piece, a soft material (please no felt) to discourage scratching of the table surface must accompany the piece. 2D artists may submit up to 6 pieces for consideration. 3D artists may submit up to 3. Shameless Grounds will retain a 25% commission on any sale. Artists will be notified if their work will be shown in the café or library.

Fees: Free to submit.

TO APPLY: Send JPEG images of works no greater than 1MB each, with dimensions, along with a brief artists statement to curator@shamelessgrounds.com.

DEADLINE for SUBMISSIONS: July 1, 2011
NOTIFICATION: July 4, 2011
OPENING: July 12, 2011

Diptych 'Scapes in Black & White Contest from B&H EDU Advantage

Our June Photography Contest is to create a diptych consisting of one landscape and one cityscape in black and white. You may capture the image any way you wish, but the final submitted presentation should be the two images in diptych format, meaning side-by-side or linked together in a way you choose submitted as one image file.

The two great 'scapes of photography are the Landscape and Cityscape. Photographers for years have attempted to capture the elusive elements of the world around them. Ansel Adams' images of Yosemite are the benchmark of landscape photography, while Bernice Abbot's cityscapes personify in silver the spires of NYC. Both of these masters of photography capture the spirit of place in black and white. Presenting images in "diptych" form was a common format in early Netherlands painting and in contemporary art the diptych is used as a paring device.

The images will be judged by David Brommer, popular photographer and instructor well versed from pixels to platinum. The winning submission will receive the Nik Software Silver Efex Pro 2 Software, the preeminent software for digital black and white conversions.

Our color enlargers are for sale

2011-04-21T11:10:00.000-05:00

As many of you know, there will be a renovation of the color darkroom area this summer and we have decided to sell the three color enlargers to interested students.

Each enlarger will be sold with its dedicated timer. No lens or any other accessory. Enlarger and timer only. Bidding will start at $300.

The bid sheet will be in the equipment room in the darkroom, hanging on the wall. Ask the monitor for it if you would like to place a bid. Bids must be written in ink.

Bidding begins today and ends at 4:00 on Wednesday May 4th. No sale is final until the darkroom renovation actually begins in May as we need to be sure it really will happen before selling the enlargers!!

If the highest bidder for any enlarger declines the purchase, the enlarger will be offered to the next highest bidder. We foresee the work to begin later in May, thus the enlarger will be likely available for pick up around that time. (Payment due with pick up.)

Film makers speak: Thrusday, 28 April 2011

2011-04-16T11:51:00.001-05:00

Award-winning filmmakers Frank Popper, and colleague Lori Dowd will be speaking at the School of Communications Spring Speaker Series on Thursday, April 28 at 7:30pm in the Winnie Moore Auditorium

"Shaking The World: Haiti's Peanut Butter Miracle”

Some people aren't afraid to shake things up. American pediatrician Dr. Patricia Wolff runs a factory in Haiti that produces lifesaving peanut butter based food. Her group employs Haitians as an economic development strategy. But two days after the earthquake of 2010 shook the Haitian country, Wolff's Haitian manager calls a strike. He's dying of kidney disease, and has chosen this moment to assert control. The locals rally to him. The devoted but tenacious Wolff is outnumbered. Five years of work may dissolve in days.

This eye-opening, empowering documentary explores a possible solution for global problems and serves as a valuable addition to national and international conversations concerning innovation.

Popper and Dowd will show footage from their documentary-in-progress and discuss the story of life and death, rescue and development, and the business of doing good.

Call for Work: Deadline 6 August 2011

DRIFT
CALL FOR ENTRIES

Entry forms are now available for our next juried exhibition, "Drift." The deadline for entry is April 29, 2011. This new exhibit is an exciting collaboration between Art Saint Louis and St. Louis Artists' Guild and will be presented as one exhibit at our two locations. The show will run June 25-August 19, 2011.

For this all media juried exhibit, we are seeking artworks that emphasize or reflect movement through space and time. "Drift" addresses our movement between East and West and the relationship to nature and the world in which we inhabit. It also focuses on how people are affected by time, space and movement. Seeking original artworks that highlight these ideas and communicate a profound relationship with these concepts. All media & styles are welcome and all responses to and interpretations of the theme are encouraged.

Questions that can be asked relating to the idea of "Drift" include: How do you relate to your environment? How does travel affect your daily experience? Do you notice the change of the seasons? How does environmental change impact your existence? Does time fly? What is your relationship with time? How is movement, place, time, and the environment depicted in your artwork?

Serving as juror for "Drift" is Dr. Ivy Cooper, Professor of Art History at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and art critic for ArtForum, Art in America, Art Papers, Sculpture Magazine, and St. Louis Beacon.

"Drift" is juried by JPEGs on CD. Limit 2 original artworks created 2009-2011.
