We had a great time last night at Whitney Lee’s Power Craft Opening. So much fun, that we just felt the need to JUMP!

Denise Prince Martin’s show is up for its final week. Risa Puleo refrenced Andrew Wyeth’s Christina’s World when discussing Spring Rite. Here are photos of my parents in when they visited Wyeth’s studio in Cushing, Maine.

Call for Art: Cantanker Visual Art Magazine, Issue 3 ∏

Monster Hearts are dangerous but friendly. They can’t help it that their teeth are razor sharp.

These blood-drawing little cuties want to bridge the gap between those who create street art and those who want to, but they need your help! Please give homes to the Monster Heart stickers. They’re show-offs- they long to live in public spaces so that they might put a smile on an unsuspecting passerby. However if you stick
yours in your home no one will hold it against you.

So go ahead come by the gallery and take one! Take a handful! If you live far from Austin and you would like Monster Hearts send a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) to 1710 Lavaca Street Austin, TX 78701 and we’ll send you a handful.

And if you feel so inclined, take pictures! Your Monster Hearts would love to live simultaneously in both the city and the gallery, and you can help them by e-mailing your digital images to info@womenandtheirwork.org or texting your cell phone pictures to 512-940-4362. Your image will then be a part of the “Street Heart” slide show!

CALL FOR WOMEN ARTIST ENTRIES

Whole Woman’s Health, a local abortion and gynecological services provider, wants your art.

We have two waiting rooms in our Austin clinic, and we want to display local women artists of varying mediums and styles. Artists who work with themes that might apply to our work—health, strength, empowerment, compassion, wisdom, etc—are especially encouraged to send submissions. Our hope is to host receptions for each new display, and artists who desire to make their work available for sale would of course be able to do so.

Submissions should either include or strongly represent the type of work you hope to display. For example, if you want to display prints and paintings, please send examples of your work in those mediums. Submissions will not be returned via mail, but can be picked up by the artist after our selection process is complete.

Please clearly mark your package “Artist Submission,” and include the following information:

•    Name
•    Phone number
•    Email address
•    Brief written description of work submitted
•    Brief statement describing why you hope to share work with the Whole Woman’s Health community, and the type of work you would like to display
•    A note detailing whether you would or would not like to retrieve your submission after our selection process is complete

Submissions should be sent by July 15th to:

Whole Woman’s Health
8401 N IH 35, Suite 1A
Austin, TX 78753

All applicants will be notified of our choices by August 1st.
