Are you getting ready for the Carnival?

Hello everyone,

We hope you are getting ready for the Naked Carnivale!

CALL FOR ARTISTS!
Registration is now open for the fall show. You can visit the Naked Carnivale artist page to get the link and for more info. We are doing a small works table again for participating artists, which was super successful at the last show.
Do you know any artists who might be interested? Pass it on!

PROMOTE!
We now have all the poster files up on the website, ready to download and print or post online. We also have some html code for you to use. You can find these on the artist page:
http://untitlednashville.org/nakedcarnivale/artists.htm
We should have posters and flyers ready by next week's meeting for you to pick up. Please plan to post some posters and/or do some online promotion.

NEEDS
We have lots of fun things planned for the show and would love to know if you have access to some carnivalesque things & people - like cotton candy machines, jugglers, unicyclists, stiltwalkers, etc.
Anything you can think of that may add to the festivities.
Email us at info@untitlednashville.org to let us know about your ideas and connections.

VENUE
Have you checked out our venue? Diamond Sound Studios is a new rehearsal complex of music and artist studios located in Metro Center. It also houses a large space where we will hold the Naked Carnivale show!

COSTUMES / INSPIRATION

While there is no required theme for artwork for any Untitled show, we do have unique titles. We think the title for the fall show is quite fun and we're encouraging you to have fun with it too.

We are going to have a costume contest at the show and encourage everyone to dress in their version of carnival and masquerade gear.
Anything and everything from old sideshow carny to brazilian carnival styles. Go crazy!

Ever wanted to be a sideshow freak? A ringmaster? A unicyclist? A circus animal? A muscle man? A stilt walker?
A juggler?
Here's your chance!

We've put together some links for you on the costume page of our site. This will be developed further in the next few weeks and we appreciate any feedback or link suggestions.

Also, check out the Etsy Favs section. We've been collecting interesting favorite items on Etsy to share with you - everything from clothing, costumes, art, and vintage finds. Buy or become inspired here:
