http://www.charlottestreet.org/2012/08/2012-city-center-square-call/ Charlotte Street Foundation, in collaboration with City Center Square, seeks proposals from artists interested in being considered for a window installation commission. The commissioned work will occupy a large ground-floor window niche at City Center Square, located on the north side of the street just west of 12th and Main in downtown Kansas City. In connection with the United States Post Office located within City Center Square, the installation should engage the theme of mail or the post office in some manner. The selected artist will be awarded a materials budget of $500 and an artist stipend of $500 to support the creation of the final project. Creative, innovative, artistic approaches are encouraged. The selected artist will be notified in September, and the installation should be completed by no later than early November. The completed installation will remain on view for approximately one year. The window dimensions are approximately 22 feel long; 3 feet deep; 14 feet tall and should be considered in relation to proposals.

http://www.lawrence.lib.ks.us/2012/08/calling-all-artists/ Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual national event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, BBW highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the dangers of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books throughout the United States. Libraries across the country recognize this week in a number of ways. For 2012, Lawrence Public Library (LPL), in partnership with the Lawrence Arts Center (LAC), is celebrating intellectual freedom and BBW in a totally unique way. We are asking local artists to create small scale works of art inspired by a banned/challenged book or author. Seven of these works will be selected and printed as trading cards, with the artwork on the front and a list of “statistics” about the highlighted book or author on the back, as well as information about the artist. All entries will be displayed during BBW and cards will be printed, with one given away each day of the week at both LPL and LAC. DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2012
