OPEN CALL: Cell phone picture art show

Camera phones have only become widespread over the past few years, however in that brief time they have become indispensable. Their portable nature and attachment to a never-leave- home-without device has promoted the easy and quick capture of everyday life the moment it occurs. Amateur photographers armed with their cell phones have
already become an important resource for the media, providing first-look on-the-scene instant documentation.

Upstate Artist Guild celebrates the ability for instant unexpected art, capturing the candid moment, through the use of cell phone cameras. We invite artists to present in our unique online gallery, as part of our first international show, titled "Send." Submissions will be accepted throughout the month of June, 2007, and posted to the online gallery, where they will remain as a permanent exhibition.
