Call for Entries
*Call for Artists from University Baptist Church*
University Baptist Church is making itself available for local artists
to show their work. All media and styles will be considered for display, including 2D and 3D work. The subject matter doesn’t have to be religious or Christian in nature (UBC is a strong supporter of Austin Area Interfaith Ministries); however nudity and highly controversial subject matter will not be accepted. All sales proceeds will go directly to the artist. This is an ongoing program; each set of artwork will be on display for approximately 30 days, starting in February. The church is located on 2130 Guadalupe street, across from the UT campus. Submissions should made via email as JPEG attachments (please, no more than about 2 megabytes total). Send all emails and other inquires to clay@clayolmstead.com
New American Talent, 23rd Exhibit, Arthouse. Deadline is January 28. For more info., visit the Arthouse website at http://www.arthousetexas.org/ to download entry form.
Austin Art in Public Places is pleased to announce a new public art opportunity for the Brazos Streetscape Project. Public Art Budget: $120,000.

Artist Information Meeting: January 30, 2008; 7 – 8 pm, at the International Center of Austin; 201 E. 2nd Street; Austin, TX 78701. The City of Austin Art in Public Places (AIPP) program of the Cultural Arts Division seeks to commission an artist or artist team to create art to transform the new Brazos Streetscape. AIPP requests a statement of intent with qualifications from professional visual artists who live or work within the state of Texas. The artwork will be located within the environment of the streetscape improvements on Brazos St., from Cesar Chavez to 11th Street. Artists should address the experiential aspect that artwork can provide in the streetscape. The proposed use of digital media, light and/or sound, among other approaches, is welcome.
