Outside Circle Collective
Exhibit Prospectus


When:  May 2 - May 29, 2004
            Opening Reception:  1pm-5pm, Sunday, May 2
            Closing Reception:  7pm-10pm, Friday, May 28
            [Other OCC events during the exhibit T.B.A.]

Where: Cafe Latte, 110 Charles St., E. Lansing, MI  

Who:    This show is open to currently registered members of the     
            Outside Circle Collective, http://spaces.outsidecircle.com

Why:    Outside Circle is a web-based meeting of artists, musicians,
            designers and others interested in the creation and distribution
            of progressive art.  No specific visual, verbal, or aural     
            manifesto identifies Outside Circle, which is instead     
            distinguished by the unique output and cooperative efforts of its
            members.

How:    The show is limited to 15 artists, who may each submit 3 pieces
            of artwork.  There is a $7 entry fee per artist to defray costs.
            2-dimensional or wall-mounted 3-dimensional works will be
            accepted, with a maximum weight of 25 pounds.

        Please clearly label your pieces on the back with your name, the
        title, medium, price [or “NFS” if Not For Sale], and your phone
        number.  Name, title, and medium should be how you wish them
        to appear on title cards.  A price list will be maintained on-line at
        http://spaces.outsidecircle.com.

        Please have pieces framed and WIRED for hanging.  We will not be
        able to provide for artworks that are not outfitted with a hanging wire
        that is appropriately strong and properly secured.  Questions?
        Contact Peter.

        A brief artist’s statement [100-150 words] may be included for
        display with your work.  Please e-mail the statement with your
        entry information.

        If you will be shipping your work, please have an account with
        U.P.S., and send it in a package that we can re-use to return the
        work to you.  Contact Peter Richards [richar66@msu.edu ] for
        details.

        Unfortunately, 3-D and 4-D pieces [with the exception of     
        mobiles] can’t be displayed during this show.  However,     
        opportunities exist for displaying this type of work         
        during the opening and closing receptions.  Contact Peter     
        [richar66@msu.edu] for details.

        By entering, you are agreeing not to hold Outside Circle     
        Collective or Cafe Latte liable for loss or damage of any sort.
        However, all possible care will be taken when handling your
        work.  Any insurance is the responsibility of individual artists.
        Contact Peter with any special handling instructions.
