CALL FOR ENTRIES - "ArtsBuild Annual 2011"

Whether two, three, or four dimensional, the work may include traditional and/or non-traditional art materials (eg. painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, fiber, etc.). Written work and performance are eligible – just include appropriate work samples with your application.

The timeline is as follows: please plan ahead!
