PRIZE FOR THE FREEFOM TO CREATE

Deadline: 31 October 2008

Typology: every kind of artistic activity supporting human rights

A foundation from Singapore together with a foundation from Uk is proud to launch the inaugural Freedom to Create Prize. This international prize will recognise artists who use their talents to promote human rights, including the freedom of expression, empathy, equality and understanding

In all societies, the development of the arts has been a sign of culture and light. Yet not all governments provide citizens with the ‘freedom to create’ needed to foster innovation, commerce and prosperity. Some governments harass and impoverish their citizens, steal resources, stifle entrepreneurship and undermine human ingenuity and hope. In these societies, art can play an important role in giving a voice to those who are denied opportunity and resources.

Freedom to Create Prize will consist of three categories. The main prize will be open to individuals or artistic groups in all creative fields including the visual and performance arts, music, crafts, design and literature. The winner of this award will receive US$ 50,000.

Freedom to Create Youth Prize will be open to artists who are under the age of 18 with the winner receiving US$ 25,000 scholarship and advocacy prize. The final category, the Freedom to Create Imprisoned Artist Prize, will focus on artists who are currently imprisoned for their artwork. The winner will receive US$ 25,000 towards supporting their family, paying legal costs and supporting advocacy efforts.

This is not an art prize. It will not simply judge the skill of the artist but recognise how the artist has used their work in speaking out in defence of human rights and freedom of expression. The inaugural prize will be a unique and significant award and will be judged by a panel of eminent artists, and human rights experts and philanthropists.

Submissions for the prize close on 31 October, 2008

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION OF SCULPTURE - ITALY

Deadline: 31st of July for the application – 10th of

September for sending the model

Typology: Sculpture

In order to enhance the bovine race and the local stone,

that ever since past times have represented important

resources for our territory, Gal (Azione Ossola) in

collaboration with APA Novara and VCO (Provincial

association of breeders), and Assograniti VCO, are promoting

an international competition of sculpture: “ stone and its

pastoral muse”, using local stone the “Serizzo

Antigorio” in the Verbano Cusio Ossola territory.

Domodossola.

SUBJECT:

The artist considering the stone material used for the

creation of the sculpture the “Serizzo Antigorio”,

should accomplish the subject: “ Bruna Alpine” breed of

cow in its real size.

The “Pastoral Muse” can be freely interpreted in its

historical and social context : as a companion of man,

mother and woman in the rural environment, as a creator of

resources, as a metaphor of fertility, maternity, a bearer

of austere, intimistic love and so on..

Surrounded by the Alps , the Verbano Cusio Ossola

territory, is considered to be a land of nature. Here the

harmonic sense of creation, has shown its expression

through giant rocks, coloured flora and mysterious fauna.

The lakes Orta,Mergozzo and Maggiore, mirrors of the sky,

have represented elements of communication and exchanges

from the Celts until nowaday.

This territory, full of emotions and traditions , alternates

the four seasons, following the spontaneous beat of the

earth, offering to residents and tourists its blooming

semplicity.

It is in this area that men, since remote times, have

connected and related their existence, with the expression

of their surroundings, considering nature, not only as a

landscape, but as a faithful accomplice, companion and

vital lymph.

Since long ago, farming, was wide spread, many cows

populated meadows. In the Ossola territory, it was not

difficult to find numerous dairies spread around in small

hamlets: these dairies became a fundamental meeting point

for breeders, peasants, shepherds and families. Dairies were

the places for the artisanal production of milk and its

derivates: “pearls of the local economy”

If the “Bruna Alpine” breed of cow, was the “

Pastoral Muse”, protagonist with its soft movements of the

first resource in Ossola, at the same time, a geological

resource, with strong and majestic features, was

characterizing another working aspect, even more important:

the extraction and processing of stone.

The first stone-masons, with the only instruments at their

disposal: cudgels and chisels, transformed a raw block into

a great hand-made piece of work, which was useful and

essential for daily life. (houses, cowsheds, hay-lofts,

roads, but also artistic work, such as churches and chapels)

With untiring repeated perseverance, men beat the stone,

a metallic tinkling echoed among the montains, beating out

the time of work, shared together with mothers and

companions through ringing cow-bells.

The perseverance of this work, difficulties and sacrifices

of these professions, surely weren’t forgotten and put

into a disheartened oblivium, but they represented the

seeds of today’s fruits.

they represent important witnesses of this original

connection “stone and its Pastoral Muse” that deeply

characterized the course of the “mountain man”.

ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS 7– CALL FOR ENTRIES

Deadline: 6th of August 2007-06-25

Typology: drawing

Bluetenweiss is a temporary project space opened in October

2006 with the one evening show titled Anonymous Drawings.

Due to the huge amount of international submissions and the

positive public response, the seventh edition, Anonymous

Drawings 7, will take place at August 25/26 2007. Since

blütenweiss from June on is a nomad-project without an

own, permanent exhibition space, the Anonymous Drawings 7 -

show will be host at a different venue.

Concept and Idea of Anonymous Drawings

Drawings (size max. DIN A3 = 29,70 x 42,00 cm / 11" x 17")

by anonymous artists will be shown on the scheduled evening;

the exhibiting artists will remain anonymous until their

work(s) are sold.

Works will sell for a uniform price of Euro 100. Buyers will

be informed of the artist’s identity upon purchase of

his/her work. Exhibited drawings will be the work of both

professional and non-professional artists. Because of this,

we ask that the viewer him/herself draw the line between Art

and Non-Art. The artists agree to stay their individual

person in the background in favour of their product. A

priori for the evaluation of the work on this evening is not

the name and the biography of the individual artist, but the

work actually shown.

Bluetenweiss reserves the right to choose which works will

be exhibited; the priorities, however, are formal, content

and qualitative variety. The artists will receive 60% of the

sales price. In case of a sale the artist will be informed

via email directly after the show.

Unsold works will be returned to the artist at the latest in

October 2007.

Bluetenweiss will publish a brochure (black/white - 60

pages), showing a selection of works, for each Anonymous

Drawings exhibit wich is available for 10 Euro at the

opening and online via bluetenweiss. The artists selected

for the publication will be informed in time before the

The McIntosh Gallery would like to let you know about an important new
initiative. The new Copyright Act of Canada requires the McIntosh
Gallery to update all copyright agreements with those artists whose
work is represented in its 2,800 piece collection. This will allow McIntosh
Gallery staff to determine the artists' wishes concerning the
reproduction, exhibition and administration relevant to the art works.
Permission to use images of the work will enhance public access to the
McIntosh Gallery Collection and help to avoid wear and tear from direct
handling of the art. It will also encourage research and awareness of
the artwork particularly in new electronic media contexts.

It would be most helpful if you could provide contact information for
any of the artists in the list which follows or direct me to an
individual who has access to this information. If you have any concerns
or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at speter9@uwo.ca or

The Ravens and Eagles Gathering  

March 31^st to April 2^nd  

 Today, few art forms in the world attain the notoriety or stature of instant recognition. Northwest Coast Native Art does.  Classed with such ancient art forms as Egyptian and Roman art Northwest Coast Native Art is one of the strongest and most definable art forms known to man.  Imagine though, unlike the Egyptians and Romans, we are fortunate to view this art while it is still a living art form.   

 Here is your opportunity!  Visit the Ravens and Eagles Gathering at Nanoose community centre this March 31^st to April 2^nd .  Participants of this juried event include Eli Milton, master toolmaker; Henry Green, Master carver; Gordon Dick, Gold/Silversmith and many other artists  from throughout British Columbia.

Come and see artists at work!!  This year we will have sculptors, painters, carvers, toolmakers and other specialty artists in attendance and working on-site.  Not only are many of the artists in attendance not usually in the public eye but also this will be a unique opportunity for the public to see projects that may otherwise go unseen.  There will be a wealth of knowledge at the gathering and questions are always welcome. 

This event was such a success last year that an additional day and more events have been added this year.   We are excited to be hosting a fashion show with beautiful, hand-made coutures by local artist Bill Helin.  Don’t miss it!  Friday, March 31^st at 7:30pm, at Nanoose Community Centre.

 The Ravens and Eagles Gathering is proud to be part of the 16^th annual Brant Wildlife Festival.  Admission is $5 at the door.  All proceeds will benefit the Brant Festival, Girl Guides and Native Youth programs.  For more information please contact Jeremy at Coastal Carvings Fine Art Gallery in Coombs, BC  250-954-0554.

 For a very informative and interactive visit with both master carvers and the ‘up and coming’ talent stop by the Ravens and Eagles Gathering.  Dates:  Friday, March 31^st  , 11am- 9pm (fashion show @ 7:30);  Saturday, April 1^st, 10am- 5pm;  Sunday, April 2^nd 10am- 4pm.  Location:  Nanoose community centre, 2925 Northwest Bay Rd, Nanoose, BC.
