The Fayetteville Forward Creative Economy Action Group (CEAG) exists to create economic opportunities for creative people. Here is an opportunity to earn $500.
Have you created art or design that exemplifies Fayetteville? Perhaps you’ve written a short poem, created a sculpture or mural that communicates Fayetteville’s creative energy. Are you a photographer or painter whose work captures the aesthetic of Fayetteville?
Whatever your medium, whatever your artistic experience, we want to feature your work and show the community and region what you create.
CEAG, the Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Commission (A&P) and the City of Fayetteville invite you to submit work that exemplifies the creative spirit of Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The winner will receive $500, be highlighted in the 2012 guide, and be featured on a gift (perhaps a pin, button or a magnet) given to people who visit Fayetteville galleries. Additionally, the work will be displayed in a public place for one year and be promoted online.
The jury is composed of gallery, CEAG and A&P representatives. They will choose one entry. The winner will be announced on the Gallery Guide of Fayetteville, Arkansas Facebook page.
The artist or designer retains copyright of the work. CEAG, A&P and the City of Fayetteville are allowed to use the selected work in perpetuity to promote Fayetteville’s creative economy.
The above-mentioned groups will not use the art for profit unless a separate agreement is reached between them.
ENTRY SPECIFICATIONS – ENTRY DEADLINE NOVEMBER 9, 2011
If you require assistance to prepare your entries, please contact Sonia Davis Gutierrez (479) 442-1443.
Keep in mind that a portrait versus landscape format works best for consideration to be featured on the Visual Arts Guide brochure cover.

UA moves to expand public art | NWAonline.

The works of American artist Mark Dion, in a show titled “Mark Dion: Process and Inquiry,” opens Oct. 8 and runs through Nov. 18.
Three proposals put forth by Dion will be revealed at the exhibit. One of them will become the second piece commissioned by UA’s Public Art Oversight Advisory Committee and the first involving an out-of-state artist.

We had a great launch to Last Night, err last night.
Turnout was high and excitement was palpable about bringing a New Year’s Eve celebration of creativity back down to the Fayetteville Square in the spirit of first night.
There also several pledges of financial support that will make this thing happen Dec. 31, 2011.
There are many more details to come, but we thought you might enjoy these images.

All but three Local Music CDs are checked out at the library.
Big thanks to Sound Warehouse and the Fayetteville Public Library who are instrumental in getting the new “Local Music” section going in the library’s CD collection.
Sound Warehouse donated the CDs and Fayetteville Public Library helped us make sure that $10 is being paid for each CD from a local artist. CEAG wants to set the model that artists should always be paid a fair rate for their work.
Laura Speer, director of library services, put the CDs out last week and already there are only three left out of the initial 17 in the collection. That sounds like success to me.
We hope to make the second set of 20 available in the coming week or so.
Also, we are looking for digital copies of photos you might have of bands and shows from Fayetteville’s past. This might be incorporated in the Fayetteville documentary film project. Also we need our local music scholars to step forward to help write a one-page document on That Fayetteville Sound.
You can e-mail me at christopher@ozarksunbound.com
This is all building toward a Aug. 28 show at the Fayetteville Public Library that will feature a number of local bands.
