[Imc] Call for submissions and reviews

[Jason Pitzl]

C/U Art, a local non-profit group dedicated to providing informational and 
networking opportunitys to artists working with visual media here in the 
greater Champaign/Urbana area is seeking story and review submissions.

C/U Art has been in existance for a little over a year now and is slowly 
growing into a truly useful resource for local artists. We already provide 
an interactive message board, e-mail list, links to current arts coverage 
and a rotating spotlight on local artist hangings.

As we all know coverage of local fine-arts is C/U is slim to say the least. 
The News Gazette hasn't published a story about visual media since last 
year, (not counting Ebert's Overlooked Ego Fest) and coverage in other local 
media is spotty.

I am sending out an open-ended call for articles and reviews pertaining to 
the visual arts in C/U.

Guidlines:

Subject: Prefer stories highlighting actual local artists, visiting and out 
of town shows are not our focus, we want to support creative individuals who 
actually do something here. Artist profiles, reviews of local shows, 
openings, and issues that directly concern local artists are preferred.

PR: All your stories will be linked from the front page to its own page on 
the site, stories with accompanying pictures run a greater chance of making 
the "cover" of the site for that particular story cycle.

Length: All these stories will be on the web, so keep in mind the 
constraints of the medium.

Credit/Ownership: Stories remain the copyright of the author, C/U Art makes 
no claims on your work and you may be a free or restricted with its 
publishing as you like. All stories will be credited to the author and any 
organization you happen to be affiliated with (ie IMC)

Misc: Bad-mouthing and gossip is a no-no, if it is an opinion piece please 
mark it as such, C/U Art generally stays away from cinema related stories as 
that is usually better and more widely covered elsewhere.
C/U Art reserves the right to refuse to publish anything it darn well wants 
pilgrim.

If any questions, or to send submissions feel free to e-mail me.
