Call to artists of all media

White Peacock Productions is looking for artists working in any medium
to be part of our art shows.

Our last show was an astounding success - we have gained notoriety in
the community as putting our artists first, and we're also being
offered a piece in a nationally published magazine.

We offer compensation even if you do not make a sale. You make $3 for
every guest you bring to the show.

To submit your work, please send samples of your work to
danny@whitepeacockproductions.com.

We do not charge artists any submission fee, but we expect them to
hang and take down their own works.

CALL TO LOS ANGELES PHOTOGRAPHERS (DIGITAL AND TRADITIONAL)

The Downtown Art Center Gallery had so many great photographers
submit work for our juried exhibition; we have scheduled a
photography show for February 2009. We are now taking submissions
for images for this specific show.

There is a $35 processing fee per 10 images. The Downtown Art Center
Gallery is a non-profit Gallery and we do not have "pay to show"
events, unless the gallery is rented from us. We fund our own shows
and only request a processing fee due to the large amount of
submissions we receive. We keep all images on file and are committed
towards finding opportunities for emerging artists.

Theme of this Show: "LA SIGHT"
Los Angeles sprawl has always confused those outside of L.A. Los
