The excellent community paper in our neighborhood, the Rat Creek Press, has put out a call for designs for their new community award. Here are some excerpts, and you can download the full posting below.
The Rat Creek Press, a non-profit, volunteer-run community newspaper in North Central Edmonton, is looking for an artist to design an award to honour our community members in the areas of Building Community, Encouraging Communication and Increasing Capacity. This is a new award with an inaugural ceremony in late April of 2008.
…
The chosen artist will receive $500 plus a free ad in the Rat Creek Press. The artist will be acknowledged at our presentation ceremony in late April. Your design will be replicated for future awards. Upon selection, the artist may not sell, lease, rent or gift the design or prototype to other individuals or groups.
If you are still interested, you can get the full details here …

Artist trading cards will be the second Saturday of each month (once a month only). However, for March we are meeting the first Saturday (March 1) due to the pinhole photography workshop. Workshops run from 12:30pm to 3:30pm at The Carrot (9251 118 Ave). Artist Trading Cards are miniature works of art created on 2.5 X 3.5 inch card stock or mat board. They are originals, small editions, and, most importantly, self-produced. Anybody can produce them. The idea is that you trade them with other people who produce cards at the sessions. The workshop will include samples, ideas on how to get started and some materials (but please feel free to bring some of your own to keep costs down.) To register call Becky 435-3499.
