Here's the call for art again:


CALL FOR ART


Emerson Space Case is seeking Michael Jackson-inspired art for a group art show, Just to Tell You Once Again:  Art Inspired By Michael Jackson, to celebrate our two-year anniversary!  This show will open June 30, 2011.


All media will be considered!  Send us your art!  Drawings, paintings, sculptures, doodles, poems, whatever it is that you do!


Deadline for submissions is June 17th, 2011


WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

You may be wondering to yourself, "Why Michael Jackson?  Why now?  What has this got to do with Emerson Space Case?  Where's my sweater vest?"

So here's the story.  We opened our first Emerson Space Case art show on June 25th, 2009.  As we were scrambling to cross all the t's and dot the lower-case j's of that show, on that lovely summer afternoon, we heard the sad and shocking news of the death of Michael Jackson.  He was in our hearts for the remainder of the day as we installed that first show, and we can't help but think that a hint of his spirit somehow lives on in that space forever more.

And that's why we've decided that for our two-year anniversary show, we should commemorate and celebrate him with a group art show.  Can you get on board with that?
