TO THE CENTER FOR THE BOOK FOR SBAWCA MEMBERS
MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR FRIDAY APRIL 11, 2008!
We have been in conversations with the Museum Curator Hanna to have a guided
tour to the Center for the Book for the new exhibition "New West Coast Design:
Books, by the exhibition curators, Kathleen Burch and Mary Austin.
Date: Friday April 11, 2008
Time: 11 am (Visit will take around. 90 minutes)
Place: Center for the Book
300 De Haro St. San Francisco, CA 94103
New West Coast Design: Books
Fri Jan 25 - Fri Apr 25
There is a resurgence of interest in the handmade book as both a craft and fine
art object, and the West Coast is at the vanguard of the phenomenon. While the
San Francisco Bay Area continues to be the center of greatest activity, there
is a growing number of important book artists and artisans up and down the coast.
This exhibition will present some of these artists, with a high level of craft
being the common denominator. Curated by Kathleen Burch and Mary Austin.

Talented ladies!
A new art magazine for women is looking for entries, ideas and interviews for
the Spring 2008 issue. We are attempting to create a magazine for hip, smart
and young women interested in arts of all kinds. why we do this? Women are rarely
featured in large spreads by progressive art publications (unless they have already
estabilished solid in the art market). We have just begun making headlines in
the art world in the past 30 years. Women artists of all colors, nationalities
and sexual orientations- we need you! We want to be (for art mags) what the Guerrilla
Girls were for the art scene in the 80's. We want to be as smart about art as
Bitch is about pop culture, with quarterly features of women artists, interviews
with painters, illustrators, djs, musicians and so on.... We are still in our
fetal development stage but need your help building the content. If you are a
woman and one of the following come join our small staff. The positions open:
Freelance writers
music editors
illustrators of all kinds
If you are revolutionary, hip, smart and want to be a part of this creation,
please send us a brief description of what you do and a sample of your art. (You
can screen your name across art in Photoshop if you worry about sending your
art away into the unknown-we are artists and we understand.) This is an ART mag,
we are not looking to write extensively about politics cooking or beauty unless
its in the art context. please send your e-mails to rawartrag@gmail.com with
:RAW ENTRY: in the title field.
Hope to hear from you soon!
