The Red House Arts Center seeks to inspire community awareness and appreciation for the arts and is pleased to showcase a series of fine art exhibitions featuring the work of central New York emerging women artists. This series is funded by a grant from the Rothenberg Family Foundation whose aim is "to support programs that educate and empower women so that they may live happier and more productive lives, and hold a more equitable position in society." These exhibits will coincide with events featuring theatre, music, and poetry, all in celebration of women. The Red House Arts Center invites central New York emerging women artists to submit digital images of recent work for review for the September 2010 through April 2011 exhibition schedule.

The 40 Below Public Arts Task Force is sponsoring two public art show/events during ArtsWeek, July 29 - Aug. 7. They are transforming a vacant store front at 451 Warren St. in downtown Syracuse into a pop-up gallery space, and are currently looking for artists for both shows:

ArtStrong, a spontaneous public gallery show (July 29 - Aug. 7)

Local artists are invited to show their original artwork - variety of art mediums are encouraged. This is a curated, non-juried show with no guidelines, but please be considerate. This is a family show and work that is too provocative will not be able to be showcased.

The ArtStrong show will be converted into a pARTy for the evening and we will feature and sell donated artwork for $10! The artwork will not be showcased beforehand and will be revealed as an exciting surprise for this event only. We are looking for artists interested in donating all kinds of artwork to be sold at the fun price of $10! There are no limits to what kind of art - framed, unframed, 3-dimensional, sketches, doodles, paintings, photography, pottery, one piece or more, etc. 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Public Arts Task Force.

Artists are welcome to participate in one event or both, please specify in your email.

Please email your name, art medium, scale and sample images of your work to info@40BelowPATF.com.

Artwork for the ArtStrong show will be installed a week or so before the opening reception on Thurs., July 29. Artwork for the 5 & Dime show will be installed on Wed. July 28.

Stone Canoe, a Journal of Arts and Ideas from Upstate New York, will offer a new set of prizes for its 2011 edition, designed specifically for Syracuse City School District (SCSD) high school students. Funded by the Gifford Foundation, the prizes will be awarded in four categories, conforming to the four primary content areas featured in the journal: visual arts, fiction, nonfiction and poetry.

Students currently in grades 9, 10 and 11 in the SCSD will be eligible to submit entries. The prize winners in each category will receive a certificate and a cash award of $500, and their entries will be published in Stone Canoe Number 5, scheduled for publication in January 2011. The winners will also be recognized at the annual Stone Canoe publication launch and awards reception in late January 2011.

The deadline for students to submit entries is Sept. 30. Winning entries will be decided by Oct. 30, in time for inclusion in the 2011 issue of the journal. Judges for the awards will be the editors of the past and current issues of the journal; all of whom are experts in their respective fields. All entries must be sent to the journal via the website, www.stonecanoejournal.org.

Applicants may submit one poem, one short story, one nonfiction piece, or one photograph of a work of art in any medium. Teachers may assist in preparing the documents for submission. Digital cameras will be available in the schools for students who are interested in submitting photography. The cameras are available courtesy of the federal GEAR-UP Program in partnership with Syracuse University.
