Guest juror: Matthew Langland, artist and key animator of the feature film "Waking Life"

Open call for artist participation in the upcoming juried, all media art show THE CARTOON at the East End Arts Gallery in Riverhead. Gallery Director Jane Kirkwood encourages artists: "The Cartoon has more than one meaning in art. It can be a caricature where a subject's features are exaggerated in a humorous way. It's also what those strange, flat little creatures that pop out of our imagination onto our drawing pad are called. And what we call an animated film. Lastly, it's the full-size drawing made by an artist as a preliminary design for a painting or other work of art. However you wish to interpret your 'Cartoon' we welcome you to enter up to three." Original works in all media may be submitted, including: painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, DVD video, and sculpture; up to three entries can be submitted per artist. If submitting video, please call the Gallery in advance at 631-727-0900. Entries will be accepted on Thursday, April 16 and Friday, April 17 from 10AM to 4PM; and Saturday, April 18 from 10AM to 3PM at the EEA Gallery.
