Call for Application:
A Residency at European Ceramic Work Centre in 2011

The European Ceramic Work Centre (.ekwc) in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, invites visual artists, designers and architects to apply for a residency in 2011 and offers plenty of opportunities for creating new ceramic art, design and architecture.

Ceramics is a medium in which new possibilities are continually being discovered. The .ekwc, directed by Mr. Ranti Tjan, is an international workshop where international artists, designers, architects and staff members explore the artistic and technical possibilities of ceramics as a medium.

You may now know of the Eco-LogicalART Gallery in the mid-city area. Our
nonprofit gallery is becoming a hub of recycled/recovered element art.
Specifically for 4 years we've been taking "dead" landfill
destined advertising vinyl, stretching it into canvasses and offering it
to artists free in exchange for exposure on the gallery exterior. To
date now with gallery shows we've sold over 45k of original art
painted on recycled vinyl.

Starting in 2007 Eco-LA secured actual billboards for the display of
original art painted on recycled billboard vinyl. To date our
"drive-by" art events, in Los Angeles and SF have been seen over
40 million times. Here is a video of that process:
