Calls For Art 11/17
Brittany Taylor
November 17, 2024
Hi everyone!
It’s been a little over 6 months since I started this newsletter and throughout that time I’ve had a lot of artists express an interest in learning more about marketing and understanding the digital landscape when it comes to promoting their work online.
I work in digital marketing as my full time job and I thought I could incorporate a new offering in addition to this newsletter for anyone who’s interested in cultivating an audience, improving their online presence, or simply just getting started in this area. If this is something you might be interested in please let me know what topics you are struggling with using the survey below so I can work on building something for you that can be as helpful and tailored as possible!

Summary: “Fashion is a seductive powerhouse in contemporary culture, worthy of celebration and critique. Fashion is a weapon against boredom, the prosaic, and the humdrum. With a joie de vivre that is irrepressible, fashionistas fight back against mediocrity, conventional thinking, and bad taste. The drama of fashion's 'street theater' inspires artists of all kinds to reach new heights of style. Despite the bellicosity of the term 'fashionistas,' it fits perfectly: fashion revolutionaries living in the urban jungle, armed with attitude. OCCCA invites artists to submit their art for a wide-ranging exhibition of text, symbols, posters, placards, videos, photography, paintings, sculptures, functional objects, installations, and new media projects.”
Deadline: 12/30/24

Summary: “For over a decade, The Crow Show has been a celebrated tradition in San Diego, uniting artists from across the nation in a shared fascination with the enigmatic crow. Revered in cultures around the world, the crow has long been a symbol of mystery, transformation, and intelligence. Whether as a harbinger of change or a messenger of hope, these birds captivate our imaginations. This annual exhibition invites artists to explore the crow’s many faces—whether rooted in reality or soaring through the realms of fantasy. What does the crow embody for you?
