Art on Wheels, a non-profit art education organization, is getting rid of their darkroom & photography equipment. If you’re into the darkroom thing, and think you might like to pick something up, please contact AOW:
216.941.7643 or carolina@artonwheels.us.
And, while you’re there perusing the equipment, be sure to take in the view of the Cuyahoga from AOW’s great location in the Flats.
Now this is interesting:
Gala Gallery, a new gallery in Legacy Village is holding an exhibition/competition for students (HS & college) in major cities on the 41st Parallel North. This includes Chicago, Cleveland, Porto, Barcelona, Rome, Tbilisi and Istanbul.
$500 First prize is awarded by gallery visitors’ voting. And I can’t find anything about an entry fee. The gallery has a commercial and international (travel) angle.
THE COMPETITION
The Department of Art and Design at Marshall University will host a juried exhibition, Social Justice: Art in a Time of Change. Full-time undergraduate and graduate art majors enrolled in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia colleges or universities are invited to use their skills and experiences to create art that informs, educates, arouses indignation and moves the viewer to action. Submissions may address issues like social, cultural, political, or environmental injustices and may be completed in any visual media.
AWARDS
$1000 First Place
$500 Second Place
$250 Third Place
(2) $125 Honorable Mention
THE JUROR

CSU Photo was prominently featured in an article in Photo District News Education (PDNedu). It featured student Meghan Fischer and alumnus Peter Jennings, as well as the Phototography Exchange Blog and Youngstown State’s photo blog. I haven’t seen the hard copy yet. But I have a pdf of the article.
