Call for “Criminales Todos:” A Community Art Exhibit – ORDeadline: December 1, 2010. The Safe Communities Project and Portland Central America Solidarity Committee are calling all artists to submit pieces to be presented at the upcoming art exhibit CRIMINALES TODOS, December 10th -17th, 2010. CRIMINALES TODOS is a travelling community art exhibit aiming to inspire an ongoing dialogue and examination of the social, political and cultural issues related to the criminalization of communities of color. From post-Civil War vagrancy laws targeting newly freed African Americans in the South, to police rounding up Japanese Americans and sending them to internment camps during WWII, to SB1070 targeting Latinos in Arizona; the history of police targeting communities of color has deep roots in American history. In times of increased police surveillance, tightened border control and the implementation of anti-immigrant and racist laws across the country, we encourage artists to engage in a conversation about the devastating repercussions of policing and the militarization in our local communities. Artists of all backgrounds are invited. Our aim is to create a space for conversation against the long standing practices of repression, and the impact of unjust and discriminatory practices. The exhibit is a platform from which to explore the marginalization of communities of color, and how to build solidarity and resistance to discrimination and oppression. Please join us. Related topics include, but are not limited to: – Effects of local enforcement programs in our local communities. – Personal and/or collective experiences with detention and deportation systems. – Racial profiling and institutionalized racism. – Intersection of criminalization of resident communities of color and newly arrived immigrants. – Anti-immigrant sentiment. – Historical and contemporary forms of popular resistance to human rights abuses. Opening Reception: Dec. 10, 2010. Launch Pad Gallery: 534 SE Oak Street, Portland, OR 97214. If you have any questions contact: Brenda Salas Neves at 503-236-7916.

Tres Rios Wetlands Project – AZ
Deadline: December 3, 2010. The Phoenix Office of Cultural Affairs requests qualifications from professional artists to work with the City, community and stakeholders to significantly enhance the trail system for the Tres Rios Wetlands Project. The Tres Rios Wetlands are a key component of the Phoenix region’s water system. Built at the confluence of the Salt, Gila, and Aqua Fria Rivers, the constructed wetlands use treated wastewater to create a rich riparian habitat for many species of waterfowl close to metropolitan Phoenix. The habitat has become a premier birding and habitat-watching area. The addition of trails promises to transform the site into a leading environmental and recreational site with numerous educational opportunities. The selected artist will work with an established design team to integrate public art into the trail system, enhancing public awareness about the importance of the wetlands, and encouraging appropriate use of the wetlands and their trails. The public art enhancements are intended to create a unique sense of place, but not compete with the wetlands’ natural beauty or impede the functionality of the place. The public art will be designed to “create moments” within the wetlands for its visitors. A complete copy of the rules and guidelines is available at www.phoenix.gov/arts.
