Jackson Fine Art is seeking a full time picture framer for gallery. Responsibilities include framing for exhibitions and for client purchases. Responsible for ordering frames and supplies. Framing experience required. Contact Courtney at JFA.

I’ve worked there this summer and this is a great opportunity to work at an important photography gallery. The job may be open as soon as September, so get on it.

I got photographs in the newest issue of Trace magazine. Check it out: www.trace212.com.

I like the photos. I hope you do too.

I’ve been reading the Conscientious blog lately, and it’s full of good stuff. Today I came across this post about the value of attending portfolio reviews, much like several of us will be attending in just… 8 SHORT weeks!

Mary Stanley Studio is curating a new exhibition for fall 2008. Fashion Statement  will contrast vintage photography fashion statements with contemporary photography and video work commenting on fashion and how it shapes our 21st century reality. Fashion choices provide clues to our identity, how we feel about ourselves and how we want to be perceived. As seen through the eye of a talented artist, these fashion statements provide us with humor and insight as we consider the direction of our modern existence.

In an effort to address this issue from a diverse perspective, artists from all nations are invited to submit photography, video and new media work on the following themes for consideration:

•    Pop culture and personal identity statements
•    A fashion trend that has taken a new twist
•    Change in cultural attitudes toward certain activities or behaviors
•    Dress code violations
•    Innovative use of accessories as art forms
•    The impact of photography in creating fashion icons and idols
•    Other pertinent fashion statements

This exhibition will presented in conjunction with the 10th Annual 2008 Atlanta Celebrates Photography (ACP) Festival, this exhibition will take place during the month of October in Castleberry Hill at the The Big House (next to the Granite Room) and will be curated by Mary Stanley from submissions.

The PDF entry form and more info is here.

Naomi Silva Gallery is having a photo exhibition during ACP that has an open call.  The entry fee is steep ($50) but the jurors are good, so it might be worth considering.  The deadline is Aug. 20.  More info at irevelar.com.

Denise Lira-Ratinoff is giving an artist talk specially for SCAD on Thursday August 14 from 6-8 p.m. at the Hagedorn Foundation Gallery. She’s put up a fine show. Her dedication to her craft is extraordinary and her talk is worth a listen. Here’s an interview I did with Denise for Art Relish. I believe she’ll be moving on soon so you should all come out to see her show, hear her speak, and wish her well.
