As a lot of us are seriously working in a cross over field between arts and crafts, mixed media, clip art, journaling, collage making, whatever, I’d like to, please, draw your attention to the 4th International Collage Exhibition Vilnius 2008. 

Deadline for submission of works is June 22 - in less than one month. The theme is: “Every night the same”. What that means is entirely up to your interpretation. You are welcomed to send 2 collages, any dimensions are accepted – there’s no size limit. However, the exhibition is censored; works will have to pass a jury. Participating fee is 50 euro or 65 USD and the exhibition will take place in Gallery Arka  – a very central and highly estimated gallery in Vilnius in April 2008. 

I know the gallery as well as the organizer and curator of the exhibition as I have been in

Vilnius three times before to attend the collage exhibition as well as the exhibition of Artists´ Books. Last year I was even invited to make a personal exhibition at Gallery Arka. It was the reward that followed a Main Prize I was nominated for. I´m still most grateful for the honour, the interest for my work - and for the very experience. Now I hope to hear some of you report back here or at my blog that you´ve decided to give it a go!
