CALADAN GALLERY CALL FOR ART A juried
exhibition entitled "Worldly Influences: Unity, Life, and Strength". A
single brick has limited function. It is, rather, the interaction
between many bricks that help to build a structure, impenetrable and
strong. So, in a like fashion, it is our unification, that, no matter
how strong the wind, how dire the challenge, that leads us to
ultimately experience victory and strength. The world is changing. The
needs of people are the same. Caladan Gallery is seeking the visual
expression of the infinite virtues of dignity and respect. We have
been extremely fortunate to be creating an exciting, diverse, and
active meeting place for artists and viewers alike, in a warm and
positive virtual atmosphere since 2003. All mediums except video are
eligible. Contact: Caladan Gallery, Box 391939, Cambridge MA 02139 OR

selections will be made by a 3-judge panel of professional artists,
curators and art professionals. A total of $3,000 in awards will be
