- Opportunity: This is your chance to show the world your talent. Choose your canvas: the 8-hole or the 14-hole boot. Use pens, use paint, use whatever. Use your imagination. We’ve provided some tools here. Or if you want, you can use your own. This time we’ll have two winners. One voted for by the people. The other chosen by a panel of industry insiders. You enter it. We’ll make them. You’ll see them in shops. Worldwide.
- Information: So here's the legal bit - which can be summed up like this:
1. Only submit material/designs that you have the copyright for or the copyright holder's permission. This is important. You own the rights to all your content, we don't.
2. If your design gets chosen we’ll pay you £1,000 to use it for a year. If you would like to get in contact, just drop us an email to questions@airwair.co.uk
3. There will be two winners. One selected based on public votes and the other selected by a panel of judges.
4. Only one vote will be acepted per person, per design. Where multiple votes from a single IP address are detected we reserve the right to remove the design and/or votes. This is not an accusation of vote rigging, but a safety barrier against foul play.

Set within a three-story former thrift store housing an immense 58-year collection of American cultural objects, Elsewhere explores the collaborative interplay between creative producers, practices, and productions. Elsewhere's residency program hosts emerging and established international artists-in-residence who create site-specific works utilizing Elsewhere's resources. All works remain on-site and become part of the fluctuating museum environment. Elsewhere's evolving three-story installation includes a performance venue, a massive library of books and periodicals, a fabric workshop, and on-site boarding facilities.
- Information: Interns apply their creative talents and skills to assist Elsewhere artist-staff and artists-in-residence with the operations and expansion of the museum and on-site creation of new works. Interns have the unique opportunity to cultivate their organizational and creative capacities while learning new skills from a diverse group of professional artists. At any given time, Elsewhere's internship program hosts two artist-assistants, a documentary intern, and an assistant director as part of the internship program. Students with backgrounds in the humanities and arts-related disciplines are encouraged to apply.
- Requirements: Interns must be extremely self-motivated, detailed, articulate, thoughtful, creative, have a sense of humor, enjoy working within a community, be capable of fusing intellectual and artistic interests, and be prepared to multi-task. All interns participate in the diverse aspects of administrating a small non-profit while learning from artists experimenting with new approaches to arts creation and organization. Elsewhere provides interns on-site housing upon request. The internship boarding fee is $125 per session. All interns must have completed their junior year of college.

- Opportunity: 2008 residencies for artists, writers, documentarians, and cultural producers
Elsewhere, an arts production site and experimental museum in downtown Greensboro, NC, is seeking artists, writers, documentarians, and cultural producers for residencies during its Summer 2008 seasons. Set within a former thrift store housing a 58-year collection of American surplus, thrift, and antiques, Elsewhere invites experimental creators to utilize the immense collection of objects to pursue site-specific material, conceptual, and/or technologically-based projects. Elsewhere's building—two storefronts on the ground floor, a 14-room boarding house on the second, and warehouse on the third—provides dynamic architectures for the creation and installation of works.
- Information: Artists live and work within transforming installations; these interactive environments become platforms for re-conceptualizing the theory and practice of art-making as an ongoing process of exchange in community. Experimenting with museum-as-medium within a store where nothing is for sale, Elsewhere offers an unparalleled framework for art practices, processes, and productions outside the traditional gallery, museum, and residency systems.
- Requirements: DEADLINES
Summer: June 1st to August 31st (final deadline March 7th 5pm)
Fall: September 1st to October 31st (final deadline May 23rd 5pm)
- Contact: The complete call for artists, residency brochure (PDF), and application deadlines are available at http://www.elsewhereelsewhere.org/residencies.html . Email George Scheer, Collaborative Director, at residencies@elsewhereelsewhere.org for an application.

- Opportunity: isual Arts Residency Program 2008 Call for Entries
For the 2009-2010 calendar year, the DCCA Visual Arts Residency program
asks artists to investigate and respond to the varying ways reality is repre-
sented and understood by contemporary society. How do we perceive, create,
and represent our world in the name of reality? What role does reality telev-
sion and mass media play in the representation of life and culture? How does
the notion of reality function in a society where virtual and simulated realities
are part of the vernacular? What defines "the real world"? What ideas under-
lie artistic meditations on reality, today? This call is open to artists working in
both traditional and non-traditional media.

June 30th, 2008
- Opportunity: The Carving Studio and Sculpture Center invites sculptors to submit proposals for SculptFest08, September 13-October 26. The theme for this year’s event is “Human Interventions and the Industrial Landscape” and guest curator is Carlos Dorrien, Sculpture Professor at Wellesley College.
- Information: ermont’s landscape abounds with evidence of human alterations to nature. Reminders of former activity are particularly abundant in the area of the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center with quarries opening into the earth, equipment remnants and the modified landscape itself. SculptFest08 offers the opportunity for artists to respond to and interpret the post-industrial environment. Some will focus on the spirit of the past, some will offer a vision for the future and others will create installations that are totally unexpected.
Ten artists will be selected to create large-scale outdoor installations responsive to the theme and site. Inactive marble quarries, decaying structures, abandoned machinery, deep pools, rock cliffs, fields filled with stacked slabs of marble and the encroaching vegetation of the Green Mountains that line the horizon are among features of the area.
- Requirements: ppointments for site tours may be made through the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center. Submissions, as described below, are due by July 7. Notification will occur before the end of July and artists will be provided access to the site from that day forward to the opening reception on Saturday, September 13. An artist’s stipend is awarded for selected proposals and an illustrated catalog will be published.
Proposals should include a project description on one or two pages, sketches or other visual representations, resume, optional statement and up to ten 35mm slides (or digital images on a CD) portraying previous site-specific work. Materials will be returned if accompanied by a self-addressed envelope with sufficient postage.
- Contact: Submissions can be mailed to:
“SculptFest08,” the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center
P.O. Box 495
West Rutland, VT 05777
For more information, visit www.carvingstudio.org, or contact the studio at 802-438-2097, info@carvingstudio.org or carving@vermontel.net.
