Submissions will be selected by the ICE Screening Committee, and screened entries will be judged at the festival by jurors Bill Brown and Naomi Uman. Work completed in any year will be considered for competition. FEES: $1.00 per minute, rounded to the nearest minute The entry form and guidelines can be found at www.icefilmfest.org .Contact: ICE Film Fest, PO Box 10008, Iowa City, IA 52240

Artwork for Touching Warms the Art
Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland
Call for Artwork for Touching Warms the Art (Jan-March, 08) at Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland (at new Pearl District location). Art jewelry today is most often experienced by the general public in a photograph, or under glass in an exhibition venue. Yet many of the messages of art jewelry remain vague or abstract until the viewer becomes the wearer. How, then, can the physical experience of wearing art jewelry be made available to visiting museum audiences? Inviting artists to explore questions of materiality, construction, design and wearability. Putting aside preciousness, we invite makers of art jewelry to create objects that give audiences the freedom to touch - and temporarily wear - these adornments. For a prospectus, please visit www.museumofcontemporarycraft.org
Deadline: September 1
