Call to artists: The SLUG Queen Salon 2009!

2009 is just around he corner and that means creative royal gastropod watchers are on notice! You are hereby challenged by your Queen to pull out the stops and let your imagination guide you to create an image of the SLUG Queen to amaze and confound the world. Now that the Slug Queen has international press, a Wall Street Journal front page story and a website with thousands of viewers--we SLUG Queens feel it is more important than ever to be immortalized in fine (not necessarily refined) art. Last year's entries set the bar high as you can see at www.slugqueeneugene.com art gallery


Last year put the SLUG Queen Art Salon Competition on the map--this year we want to cement Eugene's art community's reputation as progressive, inventive and fearless. Art may be 2D or 3D, abstract, literal or figurative. We are interested in fabric art (quilts, wearable art, etc...), recycled works, photography, video pieces, and even performance art as well as traditional sculpture, drawings and paintings. There are "no rules" (as is the way of the SLUG Queen) except of course that the work must in some way be slug Queen related to be accepted in the show. Please contact us early if you are planning a performance or are planning to create an oversized work. Please see THE RULES
for more information. Dates will be posted in January--most likely August 2009--so stay tuned.
Now get that creative slime juice flowing!
