As you may/may not know, the open call for Papergirl 2010 is on and in full effect until August 31st. Last year we had over 100 artists participate, and distributed over 400 pieces of art work, this year, we want to break our record but we need your art!
The project goes like this: We collect any and all original works of art on paper until August 31st. In September (dates TBA) we will display the work for one week, wrap it up with a great big party, and the next day we will distribute all the work for free to people on the streets of NOHO via a team of cyclists.
• There are no size restrictions this year.
• Please no photocopies, or photographs of works in different mediums
(i.e. a photograph of a painting) although regular photography is completely acceptable.
• There are no restrictions in the number of pieces any one can submit,
and at least one piece from each artists will be represented in the exhibit.
-we will also work out a system so that additional submissions from the same artist can be seen,
but do know wall space is limited.
• The project is not limited exclusively to artists, there are no age restrictions and
anyone can mail us art work from any where in the world and it will be accepted.
-Feel free to spread the word to anyone you know who may be interested,
last year we had participants as young as 8 and as far away as France, we had everything from illustrations, to photography, to typography and everything in between. Lets make this year even bigger and better, blow our minds,(just make sure we can roll it up like a newspaper) and embrace the joy in taking a leap of faith in sharing your art for free with the community.
Please mail or drop off submissions to
The attachment is this years papergirl flyer, feel free to print, hang, distribute, etc. It was made by Brendan McCauley, and he put a lot of labor into it, so please do not modify it in anyway!
We will also be screen printing these and distributing them in every roll as well as giving one to every participating artist!
Also, Now.For.Art is making some moves to a more organized operation, such as this email blast,please let us know if you wish to be removed.
Additionally, we are in the process of developing a website and since you've participated in our projects before, we want to advocate your blog or website!
Send us your full web address and the exact wording you would like to appear for your link, i.e. your name.
This fall we will be also adding a couple new folks to the mix to help the flow and increase the amount of projects we host.
Starting in September we will be introducing a monthly artists shirt series, where each month a new artist will design 3 shirts which we will screen print ourselves on organic U.S. made shirts, they will be available on the website with 50 % of the proceeds going to the artists and the other 50% to help us become a little more sustainable.
Please never hesitate with any questions and for more updates visit our blog http://nowforart.blogspot.com/
Cheers
