Call for Artists

Do you remember your favorite childhood toy? Gone (perhaps) but not forgotten. Toys are about imagination and imagination is the first tool of all artists and designers. So sharpen up your tool, tap into your inner child and create a custom toy!

AIGA is hosting its first custom toy show, Designers in Toyland, at the December Art Walk, December 2 from 5-9 pm downtown. Both AIGA members and non-members are invited to build a toy from scratch, choose an existing toy and take it to another level, or paint a blank vinyl toy — anything that makes the toy a creation unique to you. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to The Big Fun Box. If you are interested in submitting a custom toy, please e-mail Karen Kurycki at vicepresident[at]aigajacksonville.org by November 12th.

Wanna Help Out?

Here is what we need... A Person to take photos at art shows that they attend. Would be nice to have a dedicated photog for the blog that caters to Jacksonville art shows. Interviews- We really, really, really, need help in this area. Its the most time consuming for me and ed and we just cant do them as often as we want to! Wanna do a new interview each month featuring Jax artists??? Let us know if you would be down with interviewing an artist in person or via email. We need ya. You can contact Brian at bgrayart@bellsouth.net if your interested. B-OUT!
