Hello everyone,
Here is a reminder of what is going on in the Society of Illustrators.
First, Senior Show information.
As some of you may have already heard there have been some last minute changes to the Senior show. Because of unforeseen difficulties with the space that was originally chosen for the show it has been moved to the Illustration gallery at the Savannah Mall.
Here is what has changed.
(1) Because of the new larger space each senior will be allowed up to 4 pieces into the show.
(2) The due date has been extended to April 30th, 2009.
All pieces must still be framed but you now have the option to have them done where you please. All pieces you turn in should be uniform (same frame molding and mats) and all must be hang-ready (wire on the back) No unframed or unhangable pieces will be accepted.
The ex libris frameshop is still offering the 60% discount for students in the show but remember you need to allow about a week and a half for completion. That means they need to be into the frameshop no later than 4/23/2009 they have a lot of other shows they are framing at the moment so planning ahead is key.
There are also several other frameshops in town as well the option to frame yourself by purchasing frames from places like target or micheals.
The CD is still required and still needs to have an artists’ statement and a 300dpi tiff file of your work as well the liability waiver.
The reception date has not changed and will be May 29th from 6:30-9PM at the Savannah Mall Gallery and because we are handling the show completely we need help with food and beverage so if you would like to help with that please send us an email. Remember this is your show so you get back what you put into it.
Secondly, the Displaced Show.
The displaced show will go on as previously planned.
Here’s what has changed.
(1) The due date is still April 30th, 2009 due at the same time as the Senior Show pieces.
(2) All works must be prints and must be matted with at least a 2” border (black mat only) and must be for sale.
(3) The submission form will be on our blog (
www.blog.scad.edu/soi) in the near future and please properly label the pieces.
(4) No pieces will be shipped so picking up unsold work at the end of the show is the responsibility of the owner. (hence prints and not original work)
(5) The show will be up in the Mall Illustration Gallery from 4/2/2009-4/15/2009
The Society of Illustrators is looking for officers for the 2009-2010 school year.
All of the shows and events the club puts on every year cannot happen without officers.

If you or someone you know may be interested please attend our officer interest meeting this coming Thursday April 30th at 8PM in Morris rm 201.
Did you know the Illustration Gallery is also a store?
Whatever you make : Prints, toys, stuffed animals, stationary, books, accessories, and even clothes you can sell them at the SCAD Illustration Gallery at the Savannah Mall.
What’s the catch?
The store is volunteer run and as such the only requirement of you the vendor is to spend a couple of hours a week helping to run the gallery.
And…..
For a limited time sell your work COMMISSION FREE!!!
That’s right you keep all the sales from your work.
We are all students and we all could use some extra cash so why not sell your work?
