Call for Art
“And that is why I hate love letters”

_gaia is accepting submissions for an all woman group art exhibition titled “And that is why I hate love letters” opening November 4th, 2013 at City Hall Jersey City curated by Doris Cacoilo and Lillian Ribeiro.

What is an heirloom? Family treasures and stories link generations in a deep and personal way. What do we inherit from our ancestors? Parents? What are the legacies left to heirs? Family customs. Choices we make. The life we choose to live.

All media will be considered. Large 2-dimesional media is especially requested. The theme is open to interpretation. We hope this exhibition will serve to promote local women artists, bring women artists together in one amazing space, create dialogue and promote awareness and advocacy of women’s issues.

Please submit the application below (or the information requested) via e-mail with digital images of the work (jpgs ~600px wide) or links to images online by Monday, October 21, 2013.

Happy new year!

Wonder Women

Even today women remain on the fringes of the art world. Gagosian is 84 percent men, which means its artists include only 16 percent women! In September of 2006 Jerry Saltz reported that the MOMA’s permanent collection, its 4th and 5th floor galleries, only included 5 percent women, and although he has not released more current data, I imagine it has not changed.

Six years ago, I began a program very close to my heart called Wonder Women. As part of _gaia's mission I wanted to create a successful annual residency that was designed to provide a creative and supportive environment for young emerging women artists.  The Wonder Women residency, now in its 6th year, has brought together yet again a dynamic group of 10 artists. This year the residency theme has asked the artists to address the changing landscape of news, aptly titled: New News is Old News.

For the first time, _gaia is fundraising: to cover the organization and the artists'  overhead…AND the big news, to take the residency to Cyprus! We have been invited to host an intensive 2-week residency in Nicosia.

We have posted the project on Kickstarter! Visit our kickstarter page to learn more about the project and to DONATE! Please consider supporting this innovative group!
