Open Submission Art Exhibition - CALL FOR ENTRIES
Following the success of last year’s SUFFOLK SHOWCASE, the now established annual open submission exhibition returns to Bury St Edmunds Art Gallery. Presented in association with Bury St Edmunds Art Society, Bury St Edmunds Art Gallery provides SUFFOLK SHOWCASE as an opportunity open to all Suffolk-based artists and makers aged 16 years and over, the opportunity to submit work to be shown in a public exhibition of the highest quality.
This year’s exhibition will be selected by a panel of distinguished judges. They are: Rebecca Weaver, Arts Development Officer for visual arts at the Town Hall Galleries in Ipswich; Townley and Bradby, an exciting and emerging artist collaborative based in Norwich and currently participating in the Escalator programme for visual artists in the Eastern region; and Lillias August, an established and highly regarded artist from Bury St Edmunds and representative for Bury St Edmunds Art Society.
The judges will also select one artist from the exhibition for the SUFFOLK SHOWCASE ARTIST AWARD - this award will enable the recipient to create new work through a close working relationship with, and professional support from, the Art Gallery. Equivalent to £1000, the award will provide artist fees of £175 per day and a small budget for materials and expenses. The award will be announced at the exhibition preview on the evening of Friday 29 June. The exhibition will run from Saturday 30 June to Saturday 28 July.
For further details on how to submit work for the SUFFOLK SHOWCASE exhibition, artists should contact the Art Gallery on 01284 762081 or download information and an Entry Form from the website http://www.burystedmundsartgallery.org .

Hive Networks is an Open Source project that has developed a DIY kit for ubiquitous computing. During an extensive R&D phase, we have created Hivewares - a range of software tools that transform industrially built, inexpensive, small consumer devices into the much smarter species of Hive device.
With Hivewares we offer an easy to use media toolkit that creates networks that can see, hear, move and communicate using a suite of applications that enable a device to gather and disseminate digital content.
Now we invite you to explore the current development phase of the project and hear about art projects past, present and future. We welcome media practitioners, curators, organisers and researchers to examine the project, give advice and come up with ideas for future developments.

Women, Business and Blogging Conference, 8 June 2007, Leicester, UK
| 8 June 2007 | ||
| 9:30 am | to | 5:30 pm |
Come to the Women, Business and Blogging Conference on Friday 8 June 2007 at De Montfort University to find out how blogging by women and for women builds networks, improves customer reach, monetizes creativity and infuses your business with Web 2.0 goodness!
Business is becoming increasingly interested in social media and especially in blogs. In Europe over the last year several conferences have explored the potential of Web 2.0 networks to increase business opportunities - see LIFT07 (Geneva) and Le Web (Paris) for just two examples. But there have been no European events focusing specifically on women and social media - until now.
Women, Business and Blogging is organised by NLab at De Montfort University, Leicester. NLab was developed in the Faculty of Humanities by Professor Sue Thomas to connect creative businesses with writers and generate pioneering partnerships. In 2006 NLab ran a series of professional workshops and seminars on blogs, wikis, games and new media writing. In 2007 NLab is proud to present this first-ever European conference for and about women who read and write blogs.
