(as of April 27, 2005)
Otis College of Art and Design seeks an experienced youth development professional to direct a new digital arts school-to-college and school-to-workplace program for low-income Los Angeles youth aged 14 to 20 years. The O-TEAM (Otis Teens, Educators, Artists, and Mentors Initiative) is a community-based after-school academy that offers a multi-year, twelve-month sequential learning and support program for select youth who graduate into internship, workplace, or college opportunities. The program is initially planned for two community sites.
The director’s chief duties include initial startup and general supervision and administration of the program, recruitment and training of faculty and mentors, recruitment and services of youth, liaison with community partners and liaison with parents, program assessment, and reporting.
Candidacy for the position requires 1) five years of experience in professional management of youth development through the arts, youth-to-college, or youth mentoring programs, 2) minimum degree of a BA or BFA, 3) skill sets that include curricular design, youth recruitment and mentoring, faculty/mentors hiring/training/managing/supervising, community partnership building and agreement, excellent verbal and written communication, and ability to foster collaborative teamwork and maintain cooperative working relationships both internally and externally, 4) demonstrated ability to communicate comfortably across differences in age, socio-economic status, race, gender, and ethnicity, 5) ability to represent the college to students, the public, government and other external sources, and 6) ability to establish short-term and long range objectives and specify the strategies and actions to achieve them. A graduate degree is preferred, and experience as a former member of such programs is an added benefit for this position.
The selected candidate will have the opportunity to work with a group of inspirational colleagues within and outside of the college who are committed to youth development, and he/she will be instrumental in shaping an important initiative in the on-going life of Otis College of Art and Design. This is a year-around full time position with pay commensurate to education and abilities.

Call for Submissions for Curated Show
Name of Show: "Refuse To Die"
Curator: Olga Korper
Coordinator: Dimitri Papatheodorou
Location: Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts, Toronto Canada
Time: Autumn 2005
The call for submissions and proposals at Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts is for artworks that address the following statement:
"Some years ago a client gave me a present, consisting of a small velvet lined box from a pen and made the words "Refuse To Die" out of alphabet pasta, sprayed black, wedged into the slit in the box. She presented it to me at a particularly difficult time in my life. It has made me smile, reminded me of friendships and helped me to find courage and optimism.
I want to consider submissions of works which address the topics of sustenance, hope and healing on the respective artists' journey through life. The dialogue requires a subjective voice, but may be in any medium of the artist's choice. Scale needs to be considered due to the size of the two gallery spaces at Propeller. Essentially the dialogue should revolve around a celebration of life, in spite of the darkness we struggle through to survive."
All media are welcome and the call is open to artists at the emerging or advanced stages of practice.
To submit please send:
? 5ˆ10 labeled slides of your work (do NOT send original artwork)
? List of submitted slides showing title, date of work, dimensions and medium
? CV and artist‚s statement
? Self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) if you want your slides returned
? Non-refundable submission fee of CAD $40. We will accept a cheque payable to Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts, cash or money order.
Submission deadline July 15, 2005.
Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts is an artist-run collective gallery that supports vital contemporary art practices and initiatives by emerging artists. Incorporated as a not-for-profit in 1996, Propeller is located in the Queen West Gallery District in downtown Toronto.

Attention Radical Artists!
CALL FOR ARTWORK to be published in a new book.
Deadline: October 31st, 2005
Reproduce and Revolt!: Radical Graphics for the 21st Century
Edited by Josh MacPhee
Soft Skull Press
Reproduce and Revolt! is a graphic toolbox to be launched into the hands of
political activists. The book will contain over 300 new and exciting high-quality illustrations and graphics about social justice and political activism for activists to use on flyers, posters, t-shirts, brochures, stencils or any other graphic aspects of political campaigns. All the graphics will be bold and easy to reproduce, in addition to being open source/anti-copyright. The book will come with clear instructions on how to best utilize the images so as to improve the graphic qualities of political campaigns. It will also contain a short history of political graphics, an archive of political flyers and posters throughout history, as well as information about and a bibliography of further reading for all of the social justice issues the art will cover.
I am now collecting submissions of graphics, illustrations and art for the book, which will be published by Soft Skull Press in late 2006. I will chose for the book according quality of the image, reproducibility, and how well they convey the issues. Not everyone's submissions will be included. I will also be attempting to craft the book to represent the output of as diverse a group of artists as possible, across gender, race, nationality, sexuality, ability, etc. Reproduce & Revolt! is not intended to be a who's who of well known and successful political artists, this call is open to all levels of artists.
This is my second book with Soft Skull Press (www.softskull.com). My first, Stencil Pirates: A Global Survey of Street Stenciling, was released in July 2004. Stencil Pirates has gotten great reviews and is currently in it's third printing.
Here are the specifications for the images:
• Black and White/Greyscale.
• High Resolution: either original artwork on paper or high res digital images, minimum 600 dpi for greyscale, 1200 dpi for line art.
• Vector based .eps or Illustrator files are great, .tif and high quality .jpg are also acceptable
• A minimum of 6 inches x 6 inches.
• All mediums are accepted (various forms of printmaking, drawing, digital design, collages, etc.). The main factor is reproducibility.
Here are the catagories the images should be about (there will inevitably be overlap between the categories, these are simply guidelines and suggestions to help clarify and spark inspiration). In addition, the book will contain graphics in support of positive activities and graphics in opposition to negative aspects of the world, these are both included below (in alphabetical order, not order of importance!):
• Anti-Authoritarianism (including anarchism, hierarchy, direct action, mutual aid and more)
• Anti-Racism (including racial equality, institutional racism, attacks on youth of color, white privilege and more)
• Counter-Globalization (including corporate control, IMF, World Bank, WTO, capitalism, austerity, world debt, alternative economies and more)
• Education (including privatization, self-education, free schools, liberatory pedagogy, urban inequalities, military recruitment and more)
• Environment (including environmental justice, environmental racism, endangered species, animal rights, earth liberation, deforestation, strip mining, water rights, bio-tech, organics, community gardens and more)
• Feminism (including women's struggles, wages for housework, equal pay for equal work, equal rights, gender discrimination, women's liberation movement, sexual assault, men against sexism, fat liberation and more)
• Government (including bureaucracy, taxes, anti-cop, police brutality, elections and more)
• Health Care (including disability, mental health, AIDS, access, abortion, aging and more)
• Housing (including public housing, gentrification, private ownership, abandonment, homelessness and more)
• International Solidarity (including connections with movements around the world, borders, mutual aid, national liberation, Zapatista support, indigenous solidarity and more)
• Labor (including unions, work slowdowns/stoppages/sabotage, strikes, bosses, anti-work, economics, maquiladoras, sweatshops, sex work and more)
• Media (including media control, media consolidation, independent media, pirate radio and more)
• Prisons (including prison reform, prison abolition, racism in the criminal justice system, the death penalty, political prisoners, stopping the construction of prisons, torture, sentencing discrepancies and more)
• Protest (including marches, protests, direct action, pickets, plowshares, armed actions and more)
• Queer Liberation (including gay, lesbian, trans, intersex, and bisexual struggle, gender binaries, queer bashing, sexual liberation and more)
• War (including anti-war, imperialism, militarism, state terrorism, war tax resistance, nuclear weapons, "collateral damage" and more)
I will craft about a dozen chapters out of these catagories, and each chapters will be filled with 30-40 new and exciting illustrations and graphics created by dozens of political artists, hopefully including you. A website of high resolution copies of a large number of the images in the book will also be created, and ideally I will include some of the graphics that don't make the cut into the published volume. People will be able to both photocopy the images or pull them directly into digital files via website.
I hope this project will both help radical activist projects, but also help boost radical artists by getting our work further out into the world. I hope to be able to pay a nominal fee for each piece published as well as give each artists access to books at 50% off the cover price.
All material must be submitted by October 31st, 2005.
THIS IS THE FINAL DEADLINE
There is no limit to the number of images you can submit.
All images need to be emailed to "reproduce [at] justseeds [dot] org"
or mailed to:
Josh MacPhee/R&R
POBox 476971
Chicago, IL 60647
If you have any additional questions, feel free to write or email the above addresses.
Thanks,

10th Annual NOT STILL ART Festival
:::::::::::::CALL for ENTRIES:::::::::::::
The 10th Annual Not Still Art International Festival of
abstract and non-narrative electronic motion imaging with
music and sound design will be held in New York City
at the Micro Museum in Brooklyn on
Saturday (full moon) September 17, 2005.
The application form is printable from the website:
http://www.improvart.com/nsa/
POSTMARK DEADLINE is: JUNE 15, 2005
Please read the technical specifications before
mailing in your program!
The international exhibition is single channel/time based.
So we ask that you submit your work on miniDV
or as an .avi file on a CD-R or DVD-R.
That way we can curate a sequential program
for exhibition.
Here's hoping you will be able to attend the Not Still Art Festival
this year. It's a great party!
The Not Still Art Festival was first organized in 1996
by video artist, Carol Goss, to provide a forum for video artists
and electronic animators working in non-narrative forms.
Over the years an amazing range of work has been
exhibited from distressed single camera video
to high end 3-D animation. The music and sound design
spans pure sampling to acoustic instruments.
The festival is organized by artists and is independent of
governmental and foundation grants -
i.e. free to exhibit what artists make -
not what funders think is relevant.
The one exception is the Presentation Funds Grant,
which Not Still Art has been fortunate enough to receive
in the past, and redistribute in the form of honorariums
to attending artists who travel to the festival.
This grant is provided by the Experimental Television Center with
funds
from the New York State Council on the Arts.
We look forward to receiving your programs!
There is a $25. application fee, which essentially underwrites
some of the basic expenses of the festival.
If you live outside the USA and find this fee prohibitive, please
e-mail us. We are able to convert PAL and SECAM programs
to NTSC with help from Gala Radovic of GRS Systems
in NYC.

Call for Proposals: The C4F3 at ISEA2006/ZeroOne
Deadline: June 1, 2005
Submissions accepted online ONLY at http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/C4F3/index.html
This is an invitation by the ISEA2006 Symposium and ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge to groups and individuals to submit proposals for an installation of augmented furniture, audio/video/software installations and interactive artwork for The C4F3 (The Cafe) during the ISEA2006/ZeroOne from August 5-13, 2006. The deadline for proposal submissions is June 1, 2005.
The goal of The C4F3 is to create an active ambient space of augmented everyday objects that is not just an art gallery, a restaurant, or a chill space, but a new kind of project space where the whole environment has been rethought in terms of the capabilities of current technology. We want the café to be a working, interactive and social space. Rather than focusing explicitly on the work, we want the environment to support the people in it, in addition to being a showcase of innovative projects. This Call for Proposals is an invitation to artists, designers and technologists to propose existing work for exhibition and/or use within the café and new projects that support these goals.
The Inter-Society for Electronic Arts (ISEA) is an international non-profit organization fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse and exchange among culturally diverse organizations and individuals working with art, science and emerging technologies. ZeroOne San Jose is a milestone festival to be held biennially that makes accessible the work of the most innovative contemporary artists in the world. In 2006 it will be held in conjunction with the ISEA2006 Symposium.
