Bridge Art Fair is proud to announce its inaugural edition of Bridge Basel
to take place June 10-14, 2009, in Basel, Switzerland concurrent with the
esteemed Art Basel. Basel draws the largest international audience

This was just emailed to me:

I am writing at this time to ask if you would participate in my art project by sending me the old “to do “ lists that you generate, as opposed to throwing them away.

I will be one of the 180+ artists who will be exhibiting their art at ARTRALA, a three day art happening in May 2009 that will take place at the Pier Pointe Residencies that is being developed on Washington Blvd in Venice Beach, CA. Deadline to submit is April 30th.

For my project, I will cover one of the rooms with “to-do” lists and I need as much variety as possible. Laundry lists, shopping lists, new years resolutions, short term lists of daily activities or long term goal achievement oriented lists, personal or professional lists are all welcome.

Expo Leeds 24-29 September 2009
Presented by Sound and Music and MAAP
Call For Submissions and Commission Proposals Now Open

Expo is the hub and playground of the experimental music and sound art
scene in the UK and beyond. Free and open, the event mobilises a national
network of artists and engages with communities from all backgrounds –
placing sonic art and the people who make it in direct contact with the
public. Expo steps out from traditional venues and into spaces that lie at
the heart of the community - inspiring practitioners and the public to
reconsider their environments.

Expo will land in Leeds in September 09 for a long weekend of performance,
exhibition and presentation which will take place across a variety of
physical and virtual spaces.

The Children's Arts Festival provides a wonderful opportunity for parents and children to enjoy a day discovering the arts together. Hands-on arts activities and free performances provide a delightful celebration of the rich and cultural traditions that thrive in our own backyards! This year, festival activities will focus on being kind to our planet, so all crafts projects will be created from found and recycled objects easily found in the home.

The City of Buena Park is looking for fun-loving individuals who would like to participate in this year's festivities. We have plenty of craft and workshop tables that need staffing. Volunteers may need to arrive early to event for setup/training.
