Late notice: Mission Creek Music Fest benefit + Call for Art

[Expo for the Artist & Musician]

Greetings, Expo folks. 

Here are two late additions to last week's newsletter. We won't habitually be sending these additional reminders, but the two events below are significant, worthy, and produced by two longtime Expo for the Artist & Musician stalwarts, Visual Aid and Mission Creek Music & Arts Festival. These are both singular organizations doing vital work for culture and community. 

Thank you for your support of the arts in our communities!

 * CALL FOR ART -- Deadline this Thursday, March 29
 
   "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE: A Visual Aid exhibition"
   Exhibit opens in April. 
   Deadline for art submissions March 29

   Questions? Call Julie Blankenship or Nicole Best at 415-777-8242.

   "Get Out of Jail Free" will explore themes related to 
   imprisonment as a metaphor for illness, and for other 
   issues of struggle, injustice and power relationships in 
   political, social, environmental and personal arenas. 

   The show will consist of numerous, perhaps hundreds of 
   small works. Both Visual Aid artists, and artists & 
   friends from the larger community are welcome to submit 
   work for the exhibition. Please feel free to pass this 
   invitation on to friends.

   Media:
   Open to all 2D and 3D media. 
   Visual artists who work in digital media, painting, 
   sculpture, printmaking, drawing, mixed-media, etc. are 
   encouraged to submit work. 

   Size Limitation: 
   8.5" x 11"

   Number: 
   One artwork per person will be included in the exhibition 
   (provided the artist follows the guidelines.) Additional 
   works may be included, at the discretion of the curators.

   First things first:
   If you plan to participate, please email us asap at 
   staff at visualaid.org with your name, address, email address 
   and telephone number. This will give us a better idea of 
   the number of artworks/participants.
