A message from the DALLAS ARTS SALON

The Emergency Artist Support League, “EASL”, will be holding it’s bi-annual fundraiser, Art Heist, on Saturday, October 30, 2010 from 7PM to 11PM at Lofty Spaces in the Cedars area of Dallas.

It will be the ART PARTY OF THE YEAR!

If you have been to an ART HEIST in Dallas or Ft Worth in the past, you know why and if you haven’t, don’t miss it!  Details on the event and ticket sales will be forthcoming but right now EASL is seeking artists to donate work for the HEIST.

EASL is seeking work from artists who have not participated in the ART HEIST previously as well as from those who have. EASL Is looking for work that is valued at a minimum of $250 and that is no larger than 16” (easy to handle by one person) that the artist will deliver in ready-to-hang
condition. EASL is also seeking work from a few willing artists whose work has a minimum value of $500-800 or greater for a special drawing at the event.

If you have a piece in the ART HEIST, you will receive complimentary admission for yourself to the fundraiser.

There's still time to apply to be a vendor at The Funky Finds Experience, a 2-day handmade extravaganza, to be held November 6th & 7th in Fort Worth, Texas.  

The Experience will have approximately the same number of vendor booths as previous events (120-130), but the square footage has been doubled (approximately 50,000 sq. ft.). The Amon G. Carter Exhibit Hall at Will Rogers Memorial Center is climate-controlled, has great lighting, nice bathrooms, and a conveniently located ATM. 

We'll have swag bags and raffle items both days to pack the house. The raffle will be silent with the winning numbers written on a white board. Make sure you get in while you can for what will be later billed as the event that put Tarrant County on the handmade map! 

We have 10 categories and several spaces are still available for the oness listed below. We are happy to add additional categories and items once your application is received. The category Jewelry is full and Art only has a few spaces open. 

If you are unable to participate in The Funky Finds Experience, you can still have presence at the event by being a sponsor and/or advertising in our high-quality 8.5” x 11” event booklet. We are also accepting promotional items & samples for 100 swag bags. More details can be found on The Funky Finds Experience website.

La Reunion TX has a very generous matching gift from a long time donor on the table for $6000.  We are thrilled to be able to say by the end of the summer we could potentially have $12,000 as a result.  If you haven't made a gift in a while, please consider this opportunity to match dollar for dollar what we offer art and artists in our community.  

Here's what we do:

1.  Art Chicas in the Fall.  Adult professional women artists have the opportunity to create new work.  We put together a work crew of apprentices comprised of teenage girls who work side by side with her.  To be her hands, feet and help for the new piece.

2.  Environmental Art Program.  These are periodic site specific works are created on site using found and natural materials. Artists have the opportunity to work large and outdoors in our outdoor studio and gallery in Oak Cliff.

3.  Found Object Art.  Working with DISD high school students and the Nasher Sculpture Center, we simultaneously educate students about ecology, outdoor art and community service.  The Nasher guides the creation of new work using found and natural materials from our Oak Cliff site. With thrilling results!

4.  Residency.  No question our mission is about creating a residency: a live/work space for visiting artists to experience, mix in and participate with Dallas.  But also a time of respite, freshness and exploration. We are on that journey and to date have asked the international and local community through Make Space for Art and Make Space for Artists for guidance.  We are narrowed onto a path and with any luck we'll be operational in this capacity this time next year.

This is what we're in the community doing. We support artists, the creation of new work and the opportunity to dialogue with the community.  Many thanks in advance for your matching gift. website: lareuniontx.org

We are pleased to partner with the team at NOVA to present a fantastic monthly exhibit showcasing local art and music. The very first CRAVE Art and Music Festival will coincide with the 2nd Annual Oak Cliff Art Crawl! As many of you may remember, the first OCAC was a huge success and this year is going to be bigger and better than ever. We are happy to announce that CRAVE Art&Music Festival will occur every 2nd Sunday beginning April 11th, 2010.

We are accepting submissions from all artists, inviting musicians to apply to the fest and also accepting applications from select art vendors.

More than anything else, we are excited about this opportunity to celebrate our creative community on a regular basis and are very much looking forward to seeing you at the first show.

Artists:

The submission format has changed from last year's OCAC. We will be featuring a monthly juried exhibition and outdoor installation. Your $25 submission fee allows you to present for consideration to the CRAVE jury up to three pieces / jpgs of your original work that you either presently have ready to show or plan to build out for the festival. Our jury reviews all work anonymously. That's right, our jurors won't have a clue whose work they are reviewing. All mediums are accepted. Since this is a monthly exhibit, we will be accepting submissions through June 15, 2010. However, the sooner you submit, the sooner you could potentially showcase your work so don't wait!
