Asian Art Musuem residencies, submissions, info

Thursday morning - Asian Art Museum http://www.asianart.org/ to see "Stylized Sculpture -Contemporary Japanese Fashion from the Kyoto Costume Institute " with a friend. What some of the clothes lacked in practicality made up for it in their amazing silhouettes. One had to marvel at the construction of the garments and unusual use of fabric. Anyway, who says fashion has to be practical...look at the popularity of Manohlos and Jimmy Choos!
I forgot how good the food is in the cafeteria - Asian inspired menu and pretty tasty.

I found a useful site called Artist Trust containing information to specifically help Washington State artists but contains information we can all use: http://www.artisttrust.org/services/prof_dev and click on professional development for articles on writing a resume, building a website, business licences and more.

Calls for submission
How about making a light installation?
The 11th Subtle Technologies Festival investigates light as our theme. Studied as long as recorded history, light continues to inspire and mystify us. Either visible or invisible, a particle or a wave, as nourishment, heat, and energy, molecules to complex organisms respond to and are affected by light. The speed of light defines our physics. It has held great spiritual significance for many cultures.
We invite submissions http://www.subtletechnologies.com/2008/?page_id=191 that focus on light as a tool, subject of inquiry, and source of inspiration for disciplines related to both the arts and sciences, including the visual, performance, moving image arts; architecture and design; the engineering and natural sciences; and historians, anthropologists, cultural theorists.
