Hello ecoartspace members and newsletter subscribers! We now have over 100 members and over 70 subscribers! Many of you are artists we have worked with through the years, although several artists are completely new to us, which is very exciting. Welcome ALL!
There are many upcoming and current exhibitions focused on the environment, below are a few. If Members have an upcoming show or event you would like us to share through our social media channels, please email us your news.
There have been several additions to the Members Resources page with calls for artists, calls for residencies, symposia, and exhibitions. These will be updated as we are made aware of them. There is now a separate book page and we are requesting that you let us know what you're currently reading and make recommendations. You can also go into the Forum section and create a conversation. There are currently three Forum discussions on: Fire, EcoArt materials, and Sand Globes. You can subscribe to these topics individually and will be notified by email when someone has replied. Every month we will change out the Featured Artist on the home page, or until most of you have added images to your gallery feature in the profile section. Eventually this will be changed out bi-monthly and then weekly. We are now LIVE with a special CALL FOR ARTISTS for our inaugural ecoartspace fall 2020 online juried show. See below for more details. We're super excited to announce that the juror will be Eleanor Heartney, distinguished New York author and art critic. Also exciting is our new ecoartspace TOTE Bag (pictured above) with artist/member Tattfoo Tan's S.O.S. Pledge on it. You can purchase yours in the easSTORE. $5 discount for members!
Our goal is not to send too many emails, maybe two a month at the most when we have special announcements. Therefore, we are encouraging you to check the Members Only section often for updates. Please forward this newsletter to students/advocates/artists/arts professionals/institutions interested in art and nature!
