The Everson Museum of Art is pleased to announce it will host an informational forum for artists on submitting juried Everson exhibitions. The forum will be held February 18 at 6:00 p.m. in the Everson's Hosmer Auditorium. The session is free, but pre-registration is required, and can be done by emailing Pam McLaughlin, Curator of Education and Public Programs at pmclaughlin@everson.org.

Central New York artists are invited to this forum to learn about the Everson's 2010 artist series, The Edge of Art, and the highly anticipated, multi-venue 2012 Everson Biennial. Senior Curator, Deb Ryan, and Curator of Education and Public Programs, Pam McLaughlin, will discuss the selection process and application guidelines.

"We look forward to this opportunity to share information on assembling application packets, site-specific project proposals, and electronic submission forms," said Debora Ryan, Everson Senior Curator. "We will also discuss opportunities to register for a portfolio review in March and April."

The Wilson Art Gallery of the Noreen Reale Falcone Library at Le Moyne College seeks proposals for exhibitions of visual art for the 2010-2011 academic year. The Gallery has openings for four exhibitions lasting three to four weeks each between October 2010 and March 2011.

The Wilson Art Gallery is dedicated to the enrichment of the cultural life of Le Moyne College, the local community, and Central New York, and to that end the Gallery Committee will select works based on merit and the need for varieties of media.

Proposals must be received by close of business, Wed., March 31, for consideration. Proposal form and instructions are available from a link on the Wilson Gallery web page.

What if you had five minutes on stage, what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Maybe you have an idea that's been burning inside of you, crying to get out. Or you have an idea that you think is a little bit crazy, but you're figuring "what the hell, I'll submit it anyway." If so, then Ignite Syracuse is the event for you.

The 40Below Public Arts Task Force (PATF) will be hosting its third Ignite Syracuse event on Mon., March 8, starting at 6:30 p.m. at Bull and Bear Pub in Hanover Square. Ignite Syracuse is an evening of short talks with some special rules. Each speaker gets 5 minutes—but must have 20 slides and each slide must automatically progress in 15 seconds. This makes for fun and exciting presentations on just about any topic the speaker can think of. And it is a fun evening to get together with friends, have some drinks, meet new people, and hear some creative ideas that are floating around Syracuse.

Right now the PATF is accepting presentation ideas. Anything is acceptable; all bets are off. So feel free to throw your hat in the ring to be a presenter at the next Ignite Syracuse event. The first 10 presenters will be accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis. Interested parties have until Feb. 20 to submit their presentation ideas. If interested, please contact Maarten Jacobs, chair of the PATF, at 315-480-7678 or via e-mail at ignitesyracuse@gmail.com.

Have you secretly dreamed of belting out arias under the spotlight? Join Syracuse Opera for Opera Karaoke on Fri., Feb. 12 at 10:00 p.m. at Opus Restaurant and Lounge, 218 Walton St. Armory Square.

We provide the sheet music and pianist, you provide the vocals! For more information, contact the Syracuse Opera offices at 315-475-5915.

Appleseed Productions is looking to produce five to six special events in the 2010-2011 Season. These one-weekend shows are perfect for theatrical events not suited for a 3-week mainstage run, such as revues, original works, variety or comedy acts etc. People interested in submitting a special event should do so by April 1, 2010 to the fundraising co-chairs Dustin M. Czarny and/or Patricia Catchouny.

Appleseed Special Events are considered for their artistic integrity as well as their ability to act as a fundraiser for the company. Special Events will often be limited in stage time for rehearsal and usually conforming to a black box setting. Along with your script, please submit a brief write-up on how you can accomplish your event with the restrictions above. The decision for all special events will be made after the decision on the 2010-11 season is made. Interviews may be required.

Only 15 of 30 spots remain for the 4th Annual One-Take Super-8 event in Syracuse. Registration deadline is Wed., Feb. 10, and spots will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis.
