Vera Project call to artists/designers...
The Vera Project (Vera) non-profit, all-ages art and music venue located in the Seattle Center is hosting its annual Bring It, Screen It/Bazaar on December 6, 2008.
Bring It, Screen It is a fundraising event Vera puts on every year where silk screen artists can submit a Vera Project logo, and community members can pick their favorites from the bunch to screen on whatever articles of clothing they bring (or buy at the event) for just $5! Along with the screening event will also be a Bazaar for craft artists to sell their wares.
All proceeds go directly to Vera's silk screen program to ensure that it remains open, available, and low cost for the greater Seattle art community!
In order for this event to be successful, we need artists and designs. If you are interested in submitting a design, or if you know anyone who is interested in submitting a design, please email me. Feel free to forward this call to any artists you know who may be interested as well. Any one is welcome to submit!
Here are the basic logo guidelines:
- Designs must include "Vera" or "Vera Project" somewhere in the design.
- Content of designs must be suitable for general audiences.
- Designs will end up being screened in one color only for ease of printing, especially for inexperienced screeners, so color should not be a main factor.
- Dimensions need be no bigger than 8.5 X 11.
- Be aware that these designs are donated to Vera. Since this is a fundraiser, artists will not be paid.
- Designs are due by NOVEMBER 21ST.
Contact fundraising@theveraproject.org if you are interested in submitting a design...

Join us at Jelvetica and Richard Hiner Architects for an opening reception and exhibition that exclusively features the AIGA Get Out the Vote posters.

A limited selection of these posters have been printed for national distribution and we are excited to be displaying the full set of 24 posters at the Second Saturday Ballard Art Walk on October 11. This is a free event and open to AIGA members and the general public, so please encourage your family and friends to attend!
