An Opportunity for TAFA Artists

 by Linda Moran, Marble-T Designs

Since I updated my profile on Linked In, I have joined a couple of discussion groups through Linked In and have made some interesting contacts and done some very good networking.  As a result, here is a call for work that looks very intriguing, as well as meaningful. I'm planning to do a marbled piece that looks at oil spills. Join in and become part of the group. Feel free to share this post - let's see if we can get a lot of artists involved. Let's get fiber and textiles into this show.

TIKKUN OLAM: A Restoration Project
 Artists Respond to Earth's Crises Past & Present
Presented by Alta Contemporary Art, Tubac AZ in alliance with Industria Studios in Tucson.
The Jewish Community Center Tucson, Arizona
September 15 thru October 25, 2011
Opening Reception: Sunday, September 18th 1-4 PM
In the wake of recent natural and human-made crises artists often feel compelled to respond in a tangible and productive way. Here's your chance to be part of a group project raising money to replenish the earth. Alta Contemporary Art invites you to submit a 12 x 12 inch work of art for a collaborative grid presentation. All media welcome. Work must be exactly 12 x 12 inches, appropriate for the JCC venue and ready to hang on the wall.  Work must be received no later than September 10, 2011 (see art delivery details below). Participation is free, but artists must willingly donate 30% of sales to the non-profit charitable organization selected by the group as a whole.
