Speak Out: Art, Design & Politics, is accepting submissions for Speak Out. Exhibition dates are November 1 - December 20, 2008. What success can artists and designers have in causing and effecting change today? In our present culture we are bombarded by a plethora of messages that jostle for our attention and flood our eyes and ears through print, performance, email and the internet. This exhibition showcases artists and designers from around the world who have taken on the challenge of creating socially and politically charged messages that are meant to persuade, inform and/or educate audiences in a visually over-stimulating landscape. The exhibition includes political and social posters and art work that span the last decade selected by invitation, as well as current political and social art and design selected from the call to artists. Submit up to 6 JPGs of available work; title, year, media, dimensions for each piece; a short bio; a short artist's statement. No entry fee.
