Call for entries SOMA: Muralist wanted
Calling all muralists! The Southside Main Street Project is tired of looking at the blank United Systems wall at 1201 S. Main St., across from Community Bakery! It's issued a request for proposals from artists interested in designing a mural for that wall and expects to spend between $10,000 and $15,000 realizing the work. Fund-raising has begun.
Artists should have experience designing murals and should submit at least 10 color images of the work. To get more about the selection criteria and the project, go here.
SOMA's Wall Mural Design Committee will start accepting proposals Friday, July 1; Aug. 31 is the deadline to submit.
Hillis Schild, chair of SOMA, expressed appreciation for United Systems for agreeing to the project in a press release announcing the call for artists.

Call for entries 2012 Small Works on Paper
The "Small Works on Paper" exhibit will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2012. Where has the time gone?
The Arkansas Arts Council, which organizes the traveling exhibit, is taking submissions for the show now until July 22.
Juror this year will be Marcia Goldenstein, an artist and art professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
Here's the scoop: You've got to be an Arkansan, and a member of the Arkansas Artist Registry (free to join). Your work can be no larger than 24 by 24 inches. It has to have been completed in the last two years. It will cost you $10 for one entry, $20 for two, $25 for three, the limit.
Purchase awards of up to $2,000 will be awarded by the juror. The exhibit will open at the Laman Library in North Little Rock in January 2012. For more information and an application, go here.

Call for entries Here's the judge
- "June" by Patter Helmstrom
Patter Helmstrom, whose work appears here, is the judge for the 2011 "Small Works on Paper" competition sponsored by the Arkansas Arts Council. The Arts Council is accepting entries for the year-long traveling show until July 23; more information here.
Does a judge select work that resembles his or her own? While some artists may favor work that falls in their particular genre — abstract as opposed to floral watercolors, for example — they might not like work in a manner similar to theirs, that could compete with their work.
Some folks entering won't give a fig. Some may have opinions on why judges choose what they do (perhaps art from here looks fresh to a judge from there?), and it would be interesting to hear from the experts — people who've competed. Comments?
