Handbag Show

Here is the information for a Handbag show that I am participating in.

ART OF THE HANDBAG

EXHIBITION

June 3 thru August 30, 2007

ARTISTS are invited to submit up to six original handbags. All media accepted. Handbags must be functional (don’t have to be everyday bags, but design must allow them to be usable carriers). Creativity is the keynote. Recreated existing bags are acceptable if changed from their original design by 50%. No size or material limitations, but remember to keep the bags functional. Exhibition is organized to sell. All work must be for sale at reasonable prices. $50-300 max. Gallery commission on work sold is 35%.

Note: If you are male, bags aren’t just for girls...you could submit a man-bag of your original design!
