  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists

Opportunity Knocks...

DateFriday, February 10, 2012 at 2:25AM

Mark Twain once said, "I was seldom able to see an opportunity until it ceased to be one." Nowadays, the internet makes that a poor excuse.

Art Deadlines is an email list service that alerts you to all kinds of opportunities as an artist:

"Art contests and competitions, art jobs and internships, art scholarships and grants and fellowships, art festivals, call for entries/proposals/projects, and other opportunities, in all disciplines, for art students, art teachers, and artists of all ages."

Best of all, their basic service is FREE.
