Call for Artists and other info.

Utrecht Art Supply in Detroit is holding an open call for artists to be featured as Artist of the Month.

So...for anyone interested please send no more than 3 jpegs to store15@utrecht.com, along with contact information and a brief bio. Chosen artists will be contacted, and delivery of the work is up to the artist. Art work chosen will be shown at our store in our brand spankin' new Artist of the Month area (located to the left as soon as you walk through the front doors), as well as on this blog.

Other great Stuff

Aside from Utrecht Detroit's call for artists, we have a bulletin board for artist oppurtunities. Located at the rear of the store as you walk in, there are packet with all pertinent information for these calls. Please come in an peruse through them, they are free for the taking and get replenished quite often. (I look for later deadlines to give you guys time to work.)

Colored Pencil Demonstration

I know I have been plugging this for just about a month now, but it's a great oppurtunity. And as a gentle reminder it is Saturday July 15th (this weekend!!) from 12pm until 2pm. We have a great artist lined up for this, and already we have about 10 people signed up for the demonstration, so it's going to be pretty exciting.

Not completely unrelated Art info

For those of you who do not know of this site, Craigslist is a fantastic online community for just about everything (and I do mean everything so be careful). They also have an arts forum is a great way to learn things from other artists. They are very helpful with techniques of any kind. There are also calenders for events, an arts community posting site, as well artist career oriented oppurtunities and creative gigs. So check it out.

New links page!!
