[Houstonartistnewsletter] Artist Newsletter for October 1, 2006
Artists At Large
The ULTIMATE "CALL TO ARTISTS!"
SpaceTaker.org has put together the most comprehensive posting in Houston!
In fact, I don't think there is another one that pools together all the different listings.
Sign up to receive this here: http://www.spacetaker.org/mailman/listinfo/houstonartistnewsletter
AND if you are not in the Spacetaker.org directory of artists, go to their website and sign up NOW!
However art and the internet end up in the future, Spacetaker will be there first.
(of course, you should still be on the ArtValet.com site, are you?) ;)
