2 calls for artwork and artists
From today's Hot Iron Press e-mail
1. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: CONSTANCE MAGAZINE
****************************************
Constance is a design project that celebrates and explores the fragmentary life that is New Orleans. Publishing various mediums of art, including photography, painting, drawing, illustration, writing, graffiti and graphic design, Constance offers a fresh interpretation of a city that is in immense, and often times overwhelming cultural and social flux. The upcoming issue, Constance: Replicas and Replacements aims to not only make sense of the fissured New Orleans identity, but to discover the creative and experimental possibilities of our present historical moment.
Constance is currently accepting submissions until May 30th, for the fall 2006 publication of "Replicas and Replacements." We want your paintings, drawings, photographs, illustrations, writings, graffiti and all other pieces that can be reproduced on the printed page. Our only criteria is that your work be original and present a fresh perspective of New Orleans and its newly found (and lost) potential.

2. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: SURGE: NEW ORLEANS ON HIGH GROUND
*******************************************************
3 Ring Circus in conjunction with the Monster Gallery and Brooklyn Lyceum, will be bringing the New Orleans cultural community to New York. 3 Ring Circus Arts Education Center is taking 100 - 150 visual artists, as well as a full schedule of NOLA films, to Brooklyn to be on view at both The Monster Gallery and The Brooklyn Lyceum from August 28th until October 9th. During this time, 3 Ring and company will present all facets of our fascinating cultural community: visual art, film, music, crafts, theatre, performance, dance - you name it, we’re bringing it. The entire month will be scheduled with events, parties, workshops and screenings all focused on New Orleans and issues that have come up from the aftermath of the storm. Along with all these events and the exhibit, 3 Ring will also have a retail store which will showcase New Orleans crafts/fashions/media/small artworks etc.
What does this mean to you?

You can have your work showcased and available for purchase to a complete new group of buyers. We will also be inviting the press as well as retail buyers from stores, museums and galleries. There is also the possibility of a satellite booth/store at all the outdoor events that could be taking place as part of the whole festival.
