Projekt30's ARCADIA - END OF TIME EXHIBITION Since the dawn of human society, mankind has fantasized about a place, a time, a way-of-life unconfined or untainted by civilization. The urge to return to an agrarian life style has shaped our society, influencing our urban planning, our political institutions, and countless artworks over the centuries. Projekt30 will host an exhibition exploring this subject, to open July 20, 2006. We encourage applicants to take as wide an interpretation of the subject matter as possible. The exhibition will be publicly juried. The final exhibition will consist of artwork from 30 artists and will run to September 10, 2006. In addition to our usual electronic mail out, this exhibition will also be promoted via traditional, off-line methods: mailings will be distributed to galleries and organizations in New York City and San Francisco. All media except 4D. 5 images for $35, $5 for each additional image. Go to http://www.projekt30.com/arcadia_prospectus.html for more details.

CALADAN GALLERY: ECLIPSE THE HIDDEN LIGHT , This exhibition explores the dichotomy of light and dark, hope and despair. Within what seems to be the final thrust of night, the daylight awaits. When the darkness approaches, the light is not apparent to the eye of the mind. Yet, through our powers of observation and knowledge, wisdom, and the rites of survival common to all peoples, hope is born of despair. And many species of life have survived for millions of years where you would least expect it to. We are examining this on many levels – biological, psychological, spiritually, and aesthetically. The innate beauty of the world is found in understanding this seemingly contradictory pattern of existence, and so perpetuates the flowering of our evolution. Caladan Gallery, emphasizing the timely and relevant, and inviting more variety of art and issues, exhibits promising up-and-coming artists as well as those who are more well known. The exhibition will be advertised in numerous listings and we update press releases monthly. We encourage dialogue and contact between viewers and artists! Artists working in all media except video are eligible. Deadline is June 25, 2006. One or more artists will be awarded a solo exhibition. Download prospectus (see "Enter Exhibitions") at the website OR write to: Caladan Gallery, Box 468, Beverly MA 01915 Or call 978-741-7979. Entry fee is $20/up to 3 slides.
