	Title:	Venus Envy 2012: Too Much Pink?
	Sponsor:	Baton Rouge Gallery & Venus Envy
	Venue:	Baton Rouge Gallery - center for contemporary art
	Juror:	Michaelene Walsh
	Eligibility:	Female artists in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida are eligible. All media. The theme for this year's exhibition is "Too Much Pink?" From an early age, whether welcomed or not, girls and women are oftentimes faced with the color pink as a gender-identifying color. From advocacy (breast cancer awareness) to marketing, children's toys to clothing and everything in between, pink is often a part of the female experience. Some despise the color's prevalence while others seek it out. Others remain indifferent. With this exhibition, we invite artists to explore the role the color pink - and the causes, things and perceptions often associated with the color - plays in the development, life and experience of women. Whether works utilize the color pink or not will not affect their eligibility.

Essex Jct., Vermont
Deadline: March 21, 2012
Posted: 1/28/12
	Exhibit Dates:	April 19 - May 13, 2012
	Title:	Night light
	Sponsor/Venue:	Darkroom Gallery
	Awards:	Free framing/matting, Juror's Choice, Peoples Choice
	Juror:	Linda Rutenberg
	Eligibility:	Open to all Photographers. Night photography reveals a world that we do not consciously see and offers photographers unique creative opportunities. Night and day, dark and light - one implies the absence of the other. But like yin yang, each has a bit of the other. The surprising thing to first time night photographers is how their images reveal things that the mind's eye does not see. Different light sources reveal their true colors. Compared to daylight, directed and weaker light creates drama, contrast, mystery and mood. The dynamic range of light at night tends to be more in line with our tools abilities. Of course there are technical challenges with shooting in low light, but also tremendous creative opportunities. That's what we want to show with this exhibit. Do you work with existing light - or do you introduce your own? Maybe you paint with light emitting light brushes. How have you approached shooting at night to express your vision?
	Fees:	$24
	Commission:	34-66% Depending on framing
