A.I.R. Gallery Presents a New Opportunity for Women Artists:

"THE MAN I WISH I WAS"

A Juried + Invitational Exhibition

EXHIBITION STATEMENT:

In January 2010 A.I.R. Gallery will host "The Man I Wish I Was" a month-long, partially juried, partially invitational exhibition. In keeping with the feminist tradition of irreverent internal-critique and self-vigilance the intent of the show is to question how gender perception relates to personal identity.

We look forward to unanticipated perspectives and encourage an open interpretation of "The Man I Wish I Was."

DEADLINE:

October 2, 2009 at midnight online, 6pm if hand delivery, or postmark October 2 by mail.

ELIGIBILITY:

CALL FOR ARTISTS: LAS VEGAS VETERANS' MEMORIAL, LAS VEGAS, NV

This is a great ongoing series on National Public Radio right now about how artists make a living. They've interviewed artists of all kinds - poets, dancers, writers, musicians, performers, and more. I'm really enjoying it.
