Your ideas may help form this event and the conclusion will be presented at an upcoming meeting and be promoted within our press release and poster.

An Untitled show happens with your help.

WINTER SHOW TITLE - Call for Poster Designs

Hello everyone,

MEETING

We meet this Wednesday, October 10^th at 7:30pm at Kazu in Cummins Station. (209 10th avenue south)

WINTER SHOW TITLE

Thanks for the great turnout last week; we whittled down a long list of strong titles to one. CHILL will be the title of our show on Friday, December 14.

Thanks to your efforts we also landed a location just off the Vandy Campus at Layl'a off 20th avenue. Watch for an artist and volunteer sign up link in mid November.

If you already know what you’re submitting, send us a JPEG for possible inclusion in the press release. (that’s JPEG, 300 DPI)

POSTER DESIGN CONTEST

Now that we have named CHILL, we need a poster! Untitled has a history of stellar posters, many start and stay in the digital realm, however we've also used drawings, paintings, and lots of other mediums to get to a winning poster design. If you're inspired by the title, work on a piece and bring it to the meeting October 24 to be voted on.

Go here, http://www.untitlednashville.org/pages/poster.htm, to get spec information for the poster: and if you're not a graphic artist or designer, have no fear, just bring your art and we can add all the info post fact.

CHAIR POSITIONS and VOLUNTEERS

If you want to volunteer for a chair position for CHILL please come out Wednesday and talk with the group. We need your time and talent to make the show happen. We still have openings for Curator, Installation, Clean up, Hospitality, and a lot more key spots that make it happen.

Visit our Volunteer Guide on our website to learn more about the various opportunities: http://untitlednashville.org/pages/volunteer.htm

Untitled needs a Title

Hello everyone,

WINTER SHOW

It’s time to choose a Winter show title. Make a difference, make a statement, make a title.
Join your friends at Untitled, Wednesday - October 3, 2007, 7:30 PM at Kazu. (map on website)

Choosing the Winter show title isn't complicated, you nominate your candidate title, everyone votes; and, depending on who's counting the ballots, we democratically choose a winning title. Make sense?
So bring your ideas to Wednesday’s meeting. (yes, you must come to the meeting – or email us before 5pm Wednesday)

We’re also accepting volunteers for the Winter show chairs. Besides art, nothings more important to Untitled than volunteers. Come out Wednesday and offer your expertise for the last show of 2007!
…Volunteering makes you feel smart and cool…
