Calls for Artists

11/23 DRAWING EXHIBITION @ CLIMATE GALLERY
"Drawing. We artists are all doing it again. In this complex time of new energies and new directions in every facet of our lives, drawing, the ancient and perhaps the first method of self-expression, has been taken up by artists as never before. It is as if we have retrofitted the medium for defining and thinking about this ultra-modern time of overwhelming media capabilities, simply through pictures made directly by the power of the hand alone." Exhibition December 5-20, 2009. No Jury. Exposure to New York based Arts Professionals. Representation opportunities. Spaces fill quickly. Gallery exhibitions take place at it's location in New York City. Apply online at http://www.climategallery.com
