"Call for Artists: Curating a Better World - Tenth Anniversary Show"
2006-03-10 until 2006-06-30
Workmens Cirle: Arbeter Ring SoCal District
Los Angeles, CA, USA United States of America

Since opening in 1996, A Shenere Velt Gallery at The Workmen's Circle has become the address in Los Angeles for alternative art with a humanistic, countercultural message. The Gallery has sponsored 62 completely different exhibitions, involving hundreds of artists, including a majority of women and (so-called) "minority" artists.

The achievements of these ten years will be celebrated with Curating a Better World. Artists are invited to donate a work, or works, of art, which will sell for $50 each˜affordable, accessible, socially relevant art (loosely considered), for any budget˜as a benefit for the Gallery, enabling it to forge on for a second decade of promoting progressive cultural work.

Curating a Better World will run from Sunday, July 9 through Friday, August 25, 2006. All works will be priced at $50, or 5 for $200. Artworks should preferably be signed on the back. Gallery visitors will acquire what they truly love as art, not just what has a fancy or well-known artist‚s name.

Please send confirmation by mail or e-mail as soon as possible. Works should arrive in the Gallery by Friday, June 30, but may be sent any time during the month of June.

A Shenere Velt Gallery is part of The Workmen‚s Circle/Arbeter Ring, which has been active in Southern California since 1908, dedicated to Jewish culture and social justice.

A Shenere Velt means "a more beautiful world" in Yiddish. Regular Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday, 10-5; Friday, 10-3; and by special appointment. For further information, call 310.552.2007 or visit www.circlesocal.org.
