Cultural Development Corporation (CuDC) is requesting proposals for Flashpoint Gallery's September 2010 - August 2011 season. Open to all artists, independent curators and arts organizations presenting contemporary work in any medium. The Request for Proposals may be found online.

All proposals must be received no later than 5 pm on Thursday, December 17, 2009.

Flashpoint Gallery presents cutting-edge contemporary art and provides a springboard for talented artists and curators to enhance their careers. The gallery seeks to inspire creativity and encourage the creation of new work by emerging and under-represented artists and curators. CuDC is seeking inventive, original proposals in any media.

This year, for the first time, CuDC is partnering with The Community Foundation of the National Capital Region to make grants to artists participating in the Flashpoint Gallery Program. The Creative Communities Fund (CCF) will provide grants of up to $2500 to artists to support the creation and presentation of new work. DC area artists applying to the Flashpoint Gallery are encouraged to submit grant applications in conjunction with their program applications.

Andrew Wodzianski's House | Opening Reception

The opening reception for Andrew Wodzianski's House will be Thursday, October 8 from 6-8pm. Andrew's paintings lift imagery from William Castle's b-movie horror flick from 1959, House on Haunted Hill. While a painting exhibition in its own right, House will also incorporate the gimmickry and audience participation for which director Castle was legendary. Visitors to the gallery will be invited to participate in a scavenger hunt and will ultimately have the chance to win a painting from the exhibition. On Friday, October 30, a costume party will be held in conjunction with the exhibition.

Starting October 8th, Andrew Wodzianski will be releasing clues for a scavenger hunt via twitter. Five lucky people will win paintings from Wodzianski's exhibition and receive invitations for an exclusive event with the artist immediately after the October 30th House Party. Follow Wodzianski on twitter for clues and more information at: twitter.com/househuntdc.
