$50K for a TX artist; apply by Nov. 17

This isn't La Reunion-related, but still an interesting opportunity

Hunting PLC, an international oil services company, has announced their call for entries for the 2007 Hunting Art Prize—a $50,000 award open to established, emerging, and amateur artists from throughout Texas. Artists submit a single two-dimensional work (excluding photography) for consideration for the prize. Initial entries include one slide and a completed online form, all submitted no later than Friday, November 17, 2006.

While last year's competition focused on the Houston region, which is where Hunting's North American headquarters are located, the scope for this year's prize has expanded to include any Texas resident 18 years of age or older. For more information or to download a flyer, visit their website.

We are official!

Last week, we got THE LETTER. The one from the IRS that states we are officially a 501c3 non-profit corporation. This has been such a wonderful journey so far and we can't thank everyone enough for continued support.

That being said, please mark your calendars for Friday, December 1 for Art Conspiracy II. It's going to be held at the legendary Longhorn Ballroom on Corinth @ Industrial. More than 100 artists and 5 bands are participating. Go to www.artconspiracy.org for ALL the info.
