Illustrator Publishing Opportunity - Yen Magazine

Hey Illustrators!

Just a quick note to let you know about this awesome opportunity to get published in the alternative womens mag YEN. They have guest illustrators do the doodles to accompany their articles, it'd look great in your folio!

Just email some examples of your work to swalters@yenmag.net (Sarah Walters).

Good Luck from Lauren & The Team

Artist Call Out - Sail and Anchor Fremantle

From March 20^th until April 18th, the Sail & Anchor is hosting the exhibition of April Ward for the FotoFreo exhibition that is happening in Fremantle.

But after that they hope to exhibit more artists for 8 week exhibitions.

The exhibiting space is upstairs in the hallway leading into the upstairs lounge and also some in the upstairs lounge (The Green Room) itself. They are hoping to have exhibitions that changes every 8 weeks; to give the upstairs an artsy feel, give customers something extra to enjoy at our venue and helps promote WA artists.

The criterion is that they must:

Be WA artists

Exhibit for 8 weeks at a time

Use only the hooks that are available for use

Are responsible for transportation of their artwork to and from the venue, and for hanging of their own artworks.

Understand that the Sail & Anchor takes no responsibility for loss or damage of artwork. Although they haven’t had any problems so far, it is a pub, and there is unfortunately always a chance and therefore they will not be liable for damage.

Send photos of their artwork via email to the Venue Manager so that he can make a decision on whether it is appropriate for the venue. Send low resolution images to sail.and.anchor@alhgroup.com.au Attention Matthew Marinich

Provide 1xA3 or/& 1xA1 size synopsis’s so that customers can read about them, their background, experience etc.

No prices are to be put on the walls; instead they ask that the artist provides A4 sheets with info on the Artwork and prices/contact details of the artist for them to handout if someone is interested in purchasing.

There are approx 30 hooks in the upstairs hallway and lounge areas. 26 of which could hold smaller artworks (eg 54cmx54cms) and 4 hooks that could hold larger artworks.

There are also approx 1x large space and 2x small spaces for RED ARTWORK ONLY, for the Red Room Bar and Red Room Function Room, on the off chance there may be some red artworks suitable.

They would love artists to come down and look at the space available before making up their mind to exhibit here. So just call the venue 94311666 and ask to speak to Rosie or alternatively the manager on duty if she is not on the premises.

Hi All,

As market season is about to start in earnest, we just thought that sellers would benefit from one of our old articles a couple of years old about organising your self for a market.

Don't forget to comment if you have anything to add, you might have a secret trick that will really make a sellers day easier.

So click here to read our article What To Bring To A Market.

Oh, and also check out our Stock Levels Advice Article.

and need them before the grand reopening on the 12^TH March.

Here’s the deal:

- from now until March 2nd - artists can come in to inspect the restaraunt / hanging spaces.

- applications due by the end of the day on Thursday 4th March (to brass.monkey.hotel@alhgroup.com.au ) with 3 jpegs + links to websites etc. Subject of email should be "BrassGrill Art".

Other things (what's in it for the Artist, other than product placement):

- They'd like to make it a quarterly thing - Featured Artist for 3 months.

- Also near the end of the three months, when they are searching for new blood, they can do another special evening for the exiting artist.

Thursday Three :: 18 Feb '10

Thursday Three will be looking at some great stuff available on the webs from talented WA folks plus a wee bit more info about each of the artists so you can really involve yourself in what's great about buying handmade. Knowing that your bag/necklace/book was NOT shipped twice around the world (wasting petrol), or the person who made it was paid more than a bowl of rice a day, really does help take the guilt away that sometimes comes from indulging in retail therapy.

Best of Friends Wooden Frame Brooch
This great little brooch was made by Perth artist Sheryl Derilo, and is one of a kind! Have a look at some more great cute stuff via her website

Pleated Corduroy Tote Bag
Handmade down south in beautiful Margaret River by Libby, this bag is nice and big (I happen to only use big bags unless I'm going out, which then I usually use one of my extensive collection of Glomesh) with heaps of room plus pockets for the little important things. Check out her blog for more about the designer!

Forest Chandelier Pocket Notebook
This notebook couldn't get much greener; made from recycled paper, printed with vegie inks and 100% handmade by the ladies from Mitchell and Dent, who reside in Leederville. Read all about them here;

Have a wonderful rest of week!
