Last call for February show entries
Posted by Amie Gillingham in Call for Artists, exhibits on February 28, 2010
We’re accepting entries through the end of the day (11:59pm EST on 28 February 2010) for our Red Cross fundraiser to benefit Haiti Earthquake relief. Yes, there’s a $10 fee per entry, but half of your fee goes directly to the Red Cross, and the other half goes in the kitty for prize money for the show winner to be voted upon starting tomorrow. It’s a win-win scenario, and we like win-wins here at EBSQ! If you have a ready piece of heart-themed art, please consider entering Art from the Heart to benefit Haiti today!
(psssst! Don’t forget 1wC: Music and FOTM: Roses also end today!)

Sign up for the 2009 Portrait Swap
Posted by Amie Gillingham in Call for Artists, Community, exhibits on October 14, 2009
Last year's Member's Choice winner, "Frankie" by Kari Tirrell
It’s that time of year again; we’re currently registering partners for our 9th Annual Portrait Swap. Unlike previous years where we randomly paired members for this event, this year we’re asking members to find their own partner. If you’re looking for someone to partner with, sign up on the EBSQ Community Forum (you must be logged into the forum to post–just ping us if you need help with this!) And if you already have a partner, please let us know with whom you’re partnering.
All work must be completed by 30 November 2009. As this is a swap, we ask that you send your finished portrait to your partner.
Have at it, and have fun!
