SPECIAL
DELIVERY

I have always wondered why I have never received a “____ of the Month” gift for a holiday.  Fruit, cheese, beer…you name it, I would love any of them.  Maybe my relatives are concerned about my food obsession?  It’s possible.  But not only do I love most things edible, I have a soft spot for mail.  I may be the only human alive that still has magazine subscriptions…plural.  You can feel this one coming, can’t you?  Mmmhmm…art publication.

It is that time again folks; it is time to remind you that all publicity for your artwork is good publicity.  Check out this Call for Entries from Rural Route 2 Box 281, a bi-monthly art zine dedicated to photo-based contemporary art.  It is available both digitally and in hard copy.

Call for Entries:  Rural Route Two Box Two Eighty One

RR 2 Box 281 is a bi-monthly zine dedicated to photo-based contemporary art. They are currently seeking artists for inclusion in our first year of publications. Each issue will be focused on the work of two living artists working and living outside of traditional art centers / major metropolitan regions.

Learn More About RR2 Box 281 online!The title “RR 2 Box 281” comes from the childhood address of the zine’s editor. Through Digital and hard copy dissemination, RR2 seeks to increase the exposure of artists working and living in rural (non-urban) settings, thereby creating a dialog around relationships between contemporary art, regional identity and rurality.

Six times a year a new issue of RR 2 Box 281 will be released as both a free pdf file (to be emailed) and a hand-bound hard-copy zine (to be sent via post). The hard-copy zine will be $15/ issue, or $60 for a yearly subscription. The first Issue will be released on Nov. 4 @ P.S.1. in conjunction with Printed Matter’s NY ART BOOK FAIR.

Editor’s Note:  I know, I know.  I can smell the paranoid, suspicious email headed my way about how I shouldn’t promote Calls from newbies.  Bottom line…we all start somewhere.  They are building a blog and finding a few fans on facebook too.

This blog is only a year old.  If everyone had been suspicious, I wouldn’t have a few hundred of you mixed nuts reading these posts everyday.  Then where would we all be (she says with an exaggerated sense of self-importance)?  Have a little faith, folks.  When you expect the best…you very often get it.
