Ongoing Opportunities
Posted: Oct 28, 2003 5:08 PM

More than just a timely notice of artist calls, I envision this to be a place to post on-going career opportunities that may be just a bit off the beaten path. Or maybe just whatever works.

I'll start things off with what I think is a great one...

Have you ever seen the TV show on the Discovery channel called Monster Garage? They take a car and modify the hell out of it, turning into some other functional machine. Jesse James, the motorcycle builder, is the hard-working, no-nonsense host. Anyway, they're always looking for new people to be on the show. There is an application form right on their website: http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/monstergarage/monstergarage.html or you can send in a video tape. If you're a gearhead/sculptor, this may be just the thing for you.

Good luck.

Sam

Pittsburgh, PA. The Mattress Factory is an alternative museum that commissions, presents, and collects site-specific installations in an environment whose resources are totally dedicated to that process. Each year, new site-specific installations are created in residencies and presented to the public. Works usually remain on view anywhere from four months to one year, with an average of six months. Each installation is conceived for and executed in the space in which it is seen by the public. Residencies range from one week to two months. The artists determine the specific length of time, and the schedule is designed to provide maximum on-site staff support for each artist. The deadline for submission is ongoing. For more information, contact the Mattress Factory, 500 Sampsonian Way, Pittsburgh, PA 15212. Tel. 412/231-3169. Fax 412/322-2231. E-mail info@mattress.org. Web site: www.mattress.org.

I like that one too, Ray. The Badlands are one of my favorite places.

Here's another something that has some potential. If you've ever seen HGTV (Home and Garden TV) they have a pretty decent show called Modern Masters where they profile the work of an artist/artisan. After some questions, I was able to find out how to submit your information to be considered for the show. Go to this link: http://resourcedirectory.hgtv.com and enter your info into the database. Who knows, they may profile your work as part of a different show's design as well. We're talking great advertising here. You never know until you try.

The Soap Factory - Call for Entries
Located in a 48,000 sq. ft. post-industrial Factory building, on the banks of the Mississippi River, the non-profit art space The Soap Factory (formerly known as No Name Exhibitions), was established in 1988. . and has earned a reputation as an important venue exhibiting work by emerging artists.

Providing artists with a raw space and freedom to create site-specific projects and large-scale installations, as well as more the more contained Project Rooms and Video Rooms housed in white walled gallery spaces, The Soap Factory has committed to an engaging program supporting the cultural vitality of the Twin Cities. As we prepare to celebrate our 15th anniversary, we are happy to be "one of the more reliable and important art institutions on the Twin Cities scene" (New Art Examiner, June 2002), "one of the country's most talked-about art venues" (Minneapolis Star Tribune, May 2002), and "the granddaddy provocateur on the [nonprofit/alternative] scene, with a truly impressive history of exhibits" (The Rake, October 2002).

Our exhibition season at The Soap Factory begins in May and runs through the end of October. Each year we present three to four group exhibitions, six-eight solo artist projects (in our Project Rooms) and six-eight videos (in the Video Rooms) featuring the work of local national and international artists.
