Gingell Ceramics-Handbuilt fucntional ceramics with attitude.

So yesterday I joined the International Gallery of Contemporary Art. I’m excited. Seems like a nice space with a good group of people. They are located at 427 D Street and are open Tues-Sun from 12-4. The gallery is currently showing :

Julie Decker
LUCK: New Works in Painting

and in the GUEST ROOM:
Meredith Cantor-Feller
SIGHT UNSEEN

If you haven’t visited this gallery already I’d highly recommend a trip. I haven’t found any other space like this in Anchorage. It’s a great place to see some good contemporary art work.

2011 Poster Contest
AIFF seeks poster design submissions from Alaska residents, and will give the winning designer a $300 cash award along with two all-festival passes for the 2011 event.

Ok. I have to say. $300 plus two all-festival passes sounds dreamy!!! Who would not love this prize?! I checked out past years posters and I must say..not shabby..

The deadline is June 15, so I’d recommend getting at it now, so you can make something nice and pretty, or better yet, something so cool it will blow the socks right of the feet of the contest’s judges plus anyone who has a mere glimpse of the poster. So that’s a challenge to you and to me too I guess. Better get at it.

Here are more of the details:

Please submit designs electronically as jpegs or pdfs no less than 600 dpi. The image size should be no smaller than 11 x 17, and the chosen design will need to be available in its original file with layers intact so that AIFF can revise to fit different marketing and merchandise materials.

Send submissions to dawnell@anchoragefilmfestival.org. The deadline is June 15.

Here’s the festival website: www.anchoragefilmfestival.org
And here’s more info. on the poster design contest itself.

Good luck to you!
