Awaken you Creativity - Art Opportunity


I was reading the magazine Fiber Arts last week and in the back they have a listing of Competitions & Opportunities.

I saw this opportunity and I had to share

The Sketchbook Project: Library
Call for participants. Ongoing. Be one of the founding contributors to The Sketchbook Library by signing up to receive a sketchbook, filling it up with art, and sending it back. Sketchbooks offer a glimpse into an artist's life, which is why we want to make a publicly accessible library of sketchbooks that people can browse, peruse, and check out. This sketchbook collection has the potential to open a new line of communication between the artist and the viewer, since the experience of making and viewing are both so personal. Anyone can sign up to receive a sketchbook. Before joining our permanent collection, sketchbooks will be exhibited at select galleries across the United States. Each sketchbook will be barcoaded and cataloged, allowing visitors to choose what they want to look at via theme, medium, geographic location, name of the artist, etc. Sketchbooks will be shown in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Chicago, Atlanta, and St. Louis. To sign up to receive a sketchbook, www.thesketchbookproject.com. For more info on Art House, www.arthousecoop.com.

Sound like a great opportunity. Are you going to give it a try? Let me know. I would love to feature you on the blog.

  1. I'm not a sketcher- but that's wonderful that you're sharing the opportunity as well as offering to feature those that do follow through with it!
