Be Creative. Be Safe. Postcards From Kentuckiana Art for AIDS

Artists Wanted

Kentuckiana Art for AIDS invites artists to participate in our first annual visual AIDS - Be Creative. Be Safe. Postcards benefit. We are looking for artists to donate a 4" x 6" original work on paper for the exhibition and sale. Painting, drawing, photography, printmaking and mixed media are all welcome. We are pleased to announce our host gallery is David Green / STARViN-ARTiST.

DEADLINE is postmark Saturday, November 1, 2008 (NO late entries)

Be Creative. Be Safe. Postcards is a show and sale of original, postcard-sized artworks on paper by established and emerging artists. All artworks are $75 and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The works are signed on the back and exhibited so that the artists' signatures cannot be seen. While buyers have a list of all participating artists, they don't know who created which piece until it is purchased and the signature is revealed. A collector might end up with a work by a famous artist or one they don't yet know. Either way, they walk away with a great piece of art while supporting visual AIDS of Kentuckiana Art for AIDS's important work.

If you would like to participate, please contact us for Artists Submission Forms.
kyartaids@yahoo.com

Then:

1. Create or attach your artwork on any 4"x6" heavy-weight paper (Recommended: 140lb watercolor paper or press board). Painting, drawing, printmaking, photography and mixed media are all welcome. One entry per artist
2. Sign and print name on the BACK only -- also indicate the top with an arrow.
3. Carefully package artwork. Do not wrap wet or sticky artwork. (Recommended: wrap artwork in wax paper and place between thin cardboard.)
4. Complete both submission forms.
5. Note: UNSOLD artwork will NOT be RETURNED, UNLESS a 6x9 self addressed, stamped envelope is included. Please attach proper postage for return of artwork (87¢ is suggested, unless postcard and/or packaging weights over 3 oz.) Kentuckiana Art for AIDS is not responsible for lost or damaged artwork in the mail.
6. If you need confirmation that we received your artwork, please also send a self-addressed, stamped postcard with your submission.
7. Mail your artwork, submission forms and related forms postmarked by

I think that this organization is doing very important work. As I said in my profile, it's a generation of change, and I think it's important for all of us to be apart of it. We should all be aware of the issues in the world; Things like climate change, poverty, AIDS, terrorism and violent conflict. We should also be aware of who is running our country. That is why I urge everyone to research the Presidential Candidates, decide who you want to vote for, and then get out their and vote. Everyone needs to get the word out about voting; I can't stress that enough! Everyone exercise their right, and VOTE!!!
