8/30/99 deadline passed, I took no action. This really baffled me, and I had too much to do.

The jail is a serious environment. Occupants are emotionally delicate, depressed, and often suicidal. NO PROPOSALS at this time.’ Committee will select from artists represented by slides a limited number to submit a ‘conceptual’ proposal outlining materials, installation, budget and schedule. Something about shaking an ‘ugly stick’ at this building, which is plain as dirt outside and secure and windowless inside. Can't shake an ugly stick at that amount of money though. contact Jocelyn Young. Curator of Public Art, at theAnchorage Museum. 907-343-6473

Contact Exhibit Director Bitten Duggan, VSAAW, 305 Harrison Street #303, Seattle WA 98109 206.443.1843
I took no action. I do have works that have been exhibited that are less than the size described. Problem (for me) is that they are pallettes, and I don't take slides or submit slides of them.

ARTS FOR THE PARKS Competition created by National Park Academy for the Arts seeks artistic interpretations of particular National Park Sites for it's 13th annual exhibition. Over $100,000 in awards and opportunities, including a $50,000 purchase award for top place. Contact artsfortheparks@blissnet.com 1-800-ARTS (2787) PO Box 608, Jackson Hole, Wyoming 83001 This competition is open to artists nationwide and judges review more than two thousand entries. Alaska is in 'Region III' and there are seventeen national parks to choose from as subjects to depict. Many states have contributed individual award prizes to encourage the contemporary creation of works of art about their parks. My feeling is that Alaska arts funders should step up to the line, but I can't even get the newspaper to publicize the contest at first. Go figure..
My personal lame excuse for not entering is that I don't have anything small enough to fit their size restrictions..

05/07/99 deadline passed Alaska Pacific University announces a call for proposals for solo and collaborative art exhibits to be shown in Grant Hall or Carr Gottstein Galleries. (They are lobbies.) Artists who have not had an exhibit at APU for the past two years are eligible to apply. Jannah Atkins, Curator. 1536 Valerian St. Anchorage AK 99508-3244. Apply with <20 slides, exhibit proposal, resume, and SASE. Last time Jannah reviewed my slides by eyeball, holding them up to the light, and regretfully advised me that the formerly Methodist Universities trustees would be nonplussed by sexual specificity. I declined to enter this one. If I'm not good enough for them, than they're not good enough for me. So there!
The Carr Gottstein Gallery especially is a prime display space with open glass windows allowing passersby to enjoy the exhibits. Suitable to larger works. Carr and Gottstein are wealthy business people with a commendable support for their community, including the fine arts. I don't see anything here that excludes artists nationwide from applying, so go for it!

US$ 9.00 per slide entry, slides are not returned, finalists are featured throughout the year in the magazine, and on their calendar. Everything depends on that slide, make it a good one! And pick the right category. Maybe look at the magazine before entering. I should have, but I sent my $9 and a slide of Portrait Battle to the attention of Ms Cadillac. Wish us luck! (me, van Gogh, Gauguin, et les femmes) My painting involves several portraits, a fantastic landscape, a still life on a table, and a horse drawing a cart, so I entered it into Experimental.

Send SASE to: Phoenix Gallery, 568 Broadway Suite 607, New York NY 10012 I submitted CHANGE OF SEASONS and PORTRAIT BATTLE for Ms Dennison's consideration. After I overnight expressed my slides I looked closer at the prospectus. One painting is too wide and the other too 'old' to suit a strict reading of the rules. Ah well...
04/22/99 PTARMIGAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 1% for Arts sorry I never posted it here but I did everything I was paid for! And
entered this goofy roller cabinet with lexan lighted display case, I dunno...
3 of 20 proposals were selected to be further investigated, mine was not one of those. "Intriguing to the jury, I'm not sure they knew quite what to think of all the moving parts. I think they also wondered if this was the appropriate place for students to stop and fiddle around while walking down the hall." --- Ms Young
That takes me back to my grade school teaching days. Except I was a music teacher and would have wanted to encourage 'fiddling' around.
