January 3, 2008 at 4:28 am · Filed under APPROACHING DEADLINE, APPROACHING EVENT, Blogroll

Wednesday’s NYT carried an insert which included the full roster of the event offerings for the coming week’s launch of the NYT’s “Arts and Leisure Week. This annual celebration of the arts offers affordable access to the arts in the Greater NY area and far beyond; participating institutions and organizations offer two-for-one admission, and in some cases discounts in their gift/book stores during this coming week and beyond. In addition to discounted tickets to events in NYC, note the riches outside the boundaries of NYC: from theaters, performing arts centers and museums to attractions such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taleisin West, the Northwest Film Forum (NEFF) in Seattle, to the Harvard Museum of Natural History now showing Henry Horenstein’s “Looking At Animals.”

I urge all of you explore the lists of partipating venues and celebrate the cultural richs we can enjoy and appeciate. Lastly be sure to take note of the many an diverse offerings in all four corners of the USA.

To take part in this celebration, visit the website and follow the guidelines toward no only the great work you see but also the participating sponsors who have helpe d to bring this program nation-wide. and flow instructions to a “T” to ensure your ticket arangements are in order!

Be sure to give the gift of culture and live performance this season, and celebrate those companies who make this important events happen.

American Illustration and American Photography are important annual competitions that have are juried by key industry professionals, and the titles produced to feature selected works are designed by the best in the business. Read industry testimonials here; I love how Lloyd Ziff sums it up from his perspective: “First as an art director and now as a photographer, I find American Photography invaluable. The quality of the judging, the design — and most importantly, of the work — sets and meets the highest of standards. When my work is selected, I’m elated; when it’s not, I work harder.”

The Jury for last year’s American Photography 23 consisted of:

Kathy Ryan, Photo Editor, The New York Times Magazine, JURY CHAIR

Stephen Frailey, Chair, Photography Department, Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program, School of Visual Arts

David Harris, Design Director, Vanity Fair Magazine

Lesley A. Martin, Executive Editor, Aperture Foundation

Stephen Mayes, COO Image Source (Americas), Secretary, World Press Photo

Greg Pond, Photo Editor, Fortune Magazine
