SLOW not SNOW
It seems a little surreal to me that the snow that I whined so miserably about has barely melted, and I am already miserably whining about missing my slow cooker stews, soups and ragouts. Although there is one thing that I can still joyfully cook all day even in the Spring …Greek Chicken and Potatoes. This Call for Entries doesn’t necessarily require a slow creative process or a slow submission process, but it is all about the surreal and promoted by SlowArt Productions. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries from SlowArt Productions with Surreal Visions. The entry fee is reasonable at $35. There are no media restrictions, and the awards include both an exhibit at the Limner Gallery as well as an opportunity to have your work in the nationally-distributed art magazine, Direct Art. A New York artshow AND art publication? Please don’t miss this double-duty art opportunity!
