monday morning eye candy – Antonio Evaristo Cuellar
“Aurora”
“Oilcan Tanks”. The cans are wheel thrown and are decorated with underglaze. The treads are made up of wood and metal. 
The concept was derived from a government funded operation called “Militainment”. Which is the government funding going to diverse areas of media popularize war in a more entertaining fashion. It began with the Regan administration and “Star Wars” in the mid east.
“Old Fashioned”
The idea then grew into a more tangible questioning of our ancestors, the birth of capitalism, and the wholeness of American ideals.

Artists at all stages of their careers are encouraged to apply. Equal consideration will be given to emerging and established artists. Rural Manitoba artists are especially encouraged. Imagine an urban retreat!
Applications must be received by April 29 and October 28 at 4 pm, and should include:
