Where to Display Your Artwork
Dan Fear, www.art-support.com
Even with the increase in the numbers of art galleries exhibiting photographs, it is still difficult to get art gallery representation and exhibitions. You should consider and look into the following list of potential art exhibition spaces:
Commercial Galleries: These galleries are sales oriented and take a commission on all sales. Sales are usually split 50/50 with your artwork being represented for a period of time. Exhibitions are usually scheduled twelve months or more in advance and normally there are no additional fees for exhibiting work. Most of the galleries you encounter will be this kind.

Artist Opportunities
Urban Design Curriculum Lab
The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture seeks Phoenix-area artists who have experience in public art and design and an interest in working with children for a pilot project in an inner city school. The Urban Design Curriculum Lab will begin in late August as an after-school pilot project focusing on public art and urban design. Artists will work as a team with other artists, teachers, parents, and neighborhood residents to encourage students to explore their neighborhood in order to learn how "places" are formed in our society. Working from the students’ experience with their neighborhood, this course of study will acquaint students with concepts of public art, urban design, planning and development, and architecture while employing math, science, and language arts skills. Visual arts, music, dance, drama, photography will also be integrated into the course of study. The focus of this work will be to teach students creative and strategic thinking that responds to the world around them. An arts integration specialist will work with classroom teachers, teaching artists, and Arizona State University interns to integrate the 4th & 5th grade curriculum plans into the Making Places curriculum. Class size is limited to 20 students. Artists from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Training and guidance will be provided throughout the project. For the full call to artists, visit Phoenix Calls to Artists. Deadline: August 10, 2006.

Marriage, Home & Family
The University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee invites artist proposals for an upcoming exhibition about Marriage, Home & Family. In a political and social atmosphere boiling over with a mixture of religious convictions and civil rights legislation, the issue of what constitutes marriage and family is very relevant to contemporary discourse. The Union Art Gallery at UWM invites artists to participate in a dialog on these issues through an exhibition that will consider these themes in a collection of small works that will be exhibited as one large "quilt" on the walls of the gallery. Any medium is acceptable, but each work must be submitted as a wall-mountable 2' x 2' square. Paintings, photographs, collages, textiles and 3-D works - including those that extend out or down from the wall - will all be considered. When all work is submitted, these squares will be placed together to form a giant quilt on the walls of the gallery. Additionally, the gallery is taking proposals for separate installation pieces to be created in four alcoves. These installations should also address this topic as a more investigated and conclusive aspect to this theme. If interested in exhibiting installation work in one of these four spaces, please submit a proposal with images or sketches. Four will be selected by the curator for exhibition. Deadline: September 5, 2006. For additional information, please e-mail: skyberg@aux.uwm.edu.
