Welcome to post-ART!

2008-03-12T18:13:00.000-07:00

This is the new blog for posting information about upcoming shows for artists that we know. Like all of us! We can also post information about Calls for Entries, exhibition opportunities, residencies and grants, or anything else that you think would be interesting!

A lot of times this information can be quite extensive so what I propose is that we stick to a short description of these opportunities, an application deadline, and a link to find out more information.

If you would like to be added as an author to this blog write your email in the comment field and I can add you to the list of authors.

Also check out the new companion site post-ART:the Website.
