YOU HAVE SIX MONTHS

It's time to get ready.

e-merge 2008, our juried kiln-glass exhibition for emerging and intermediate-level artists, will begin accepting applications before you know it.

This biennial competition, the fifth in our series, aims to acknowledge the specialized field of kiln-glass sculpture and those who are rising through its ranks. Students, early-career artists, and those not regularly represented by top-flight galleries are encouraged to start planning submissions now.

In addition to the chance to show work at Bullseye Resource Center Gallery, artists who enter e-merge 2008 can compete to win:

• • Awards
• • More than $5000 in Bullseye gift cards
• • Publication in a beautifully produced, full-color catalog.

A reception and awards ceremony will cap exhibition festivities.

Dates to remember:

• January 3 - Submissions open
• February 22 - Submissions close
• May 17 - Awards ceremony at Bullseye Resource Center
• May 5—July 25 - Exhibition runs at Bullseye Resource Center Gallery

Entries to e-merge 2008 will be judged on artistic excellence and must be made with Bullseye glasses.
