• Event Closed - Saguaro Ranch Park Glendale, AZ - 48th Annual Glendale Art Council Juried Fine Arts Competition - benefit supplemental arts programs for Glendale students.
• Event Closed - Moss, Norway - trong>#TwitterArtExhibit - @DavidSandumArt, @Artythings, @dpringle, and @EthanCrankeArt discussed how fun it would be to exhibit something together. EthanCrankeArt suggested 140 artists (representing 140 characters), and they concluded it had to shown at a public place, as Twitter is open to anyone with an account. It all seemed so right, so current! Then @DavidSandumArt read an article in the local Norwegian paper, saying how the public library had gotten it's funding cut and wouldn't be able to order the children's books they needed; he decided this was the perfect venue for a twitter art project-a wall of art work at the library, where it's proceeds would go to charity/children's books. Each artist should send a postcard (symbolic of a tweet), with hand-painted original artwork. The postcards would then be posted on the wall and sold), and all the money would go to children's books. A few weeks later, they have gotten the go ahead from local government officials, and @DavidSandumArt to announced this event.
  
  @dejakester (Jake Beckman) found out about the project from @EthanCrankeArt. Of course Jake was struck by how perfect a venue this was for the current body of work, Binary Birds. Jake immediately sat down and created #twitterartexhibition and mailed it off to @DavidSandumArt the next day. So if all goes well the new miniature painting will arrive in Norway shortly and should be on display at the library in Moss; the show opens December 1, 2010.
