The Art Palaver ATC Swap

October 30th, 2007 admin

Thanks to Post Due I’ve discovered this nice little website called Swap-bot. Swap-bot is a place for people to come together and swap things. Because of Post Due I have been enjoying making and trading postcards with people around the U.S.

I thought it would be worth an attempt to set up a swap for the readers of Art Palaver. A simple swap of Artist Trading Cards or ATCs as most people call them. An ATC is like a baseball trading card but created by an artist and given away. They are 2.5″x3.5″. I have kept the swap simple and open to any reader of Art Palaver.

You will need a password though to prove you are a reader of Art Palaver. That password is “canvas”.

So click here to check out and sign up for the Art Palaver ATC Swap.

Click here to find more details about what an ATC is.

Edward Weston And Odell Brewing Company

October 30th, 2007 admin

What: Eloquent Nude, The Love and Legacy of Ed Weston.
Where: Odell Brewing Company, 800 E. Lincoln Ave, Fort Collins.
When: Thursday November 1st, 2007.
Why: To benefit The Center For Fine Art Photography.
How Much: $10

Eloquent Nude is Portland filmmaker Ian McCluskey’s new film on the great American photographer Edward Weston. Emmy award-winning filmmaker McCluskey provides an inside look at the making of an American photography legend through the eyes of the now 92-year-old Charis Wilson. Only 19 when she met and fell in love with Weston, she became his model, lover, artistic collaborator and eventually his wife. She would help apply for, and help Weston receive, the first Guggenheim Grant awarded to a photographer, together setting off with his camera and her typewriter across the American West during the depths of the Great Depression to make photographic history.
