I don’t own a kitchen timer.

CALL for ENTRIES: Postmarked 2011

Learn more about the 7th Annual Mail Art Show!For many years, inmates from around the country wrote to the Prison Library Project and they were amazed by the artwork that accompanied requests for books. These beautiful illustrations were their inspiration for a mail art exhibition and fundraiser.

Postmarked was developed seven years ago for the Claremont Forum’s Prison Library Project, which sends books free to prisoners in the U.S. upon their request. Providing education and opportunity to learn about mail art, view new and established mail artists’ works, and to participate in the experience of creating and sending mail art. Now in its 7th year, this exhibition is one of the largest in California.

WHY SUPPORT the PLP? “Rehabilitation was at one time a stated goal of the prison system. Today, funding for most educational and rehabilitation programs, including prison libraries, has been cut or completely eliminated. It is a distressing fact that today’s U.S. prisons are increasingly about punishing people and warehousing human beings, not about, rehabilitation, or education.”

“This is where PLP steps in. We believe that everyone deserves access to literature and educational materials, including people trying to work towards social change, self-empowerment or rehabilitation within the incarceration system.

Learn more about the 7th Annual Mail Art Show! The U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but more than a quarter of the world’s prisoners.

 

Nearly one percent of American adults are incarcerated, the highest rate in the world, but many prisoners have little access to books or educational material. They face substantial barriers and are cut off from family and friends on the outside. While some prisons have libraries, many do not. Of those that do, access and selection can be extremely limited. Usually, prisoners are not allowed to receive books from friends or family. Thus, programs like ours are one of the few options available to these individuals.” –from the PLP website.

CALL for ENTRIES: 10 Second Film Festival

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!CURTSY, PLEASE

I am the soup queen.  I accidentally found out during a run of bad weather one winter during which we couldn’t make it to the grocery store that I am really good at making soup.  I had a whole series of artwork happen because I accidentally put myself in a situation where I was trapped at home too.  My point?  Maybe life is just a series of accidents, and with any luck, maybe more of them will be happy than not.  If you’ve accidentally (or puposefully) shot 10 seconds of good film, here’s your chance to put it to good use.

Check out this Call for Entries from The Soap Factory for Ten Second Film Festival.  It is free to enter.  You can email your entry.  And your work could have an audience of thousands.  What do you have to lose?

*Editor’s note:  I have a soft spot for The Soap Factory.  Clearly, they love what they do…hence the overwhelming amount of community and volunteer support they enjoy.  Do we all wish The Soap Factory was in our city or town? Certainly.  But never let geography be your crutch.  The chances are good that there is a free-spirited, albeit struggling, arts organization in your hometown.  Show them a little volunteer support, and the rest could be history.
