Help Fund a Student Film Through Kickstarter
Hello! I'm producing a film titled "If You Don't Leave, You Can't Come Back". It will be shooting early next year and it is being funded through kickstarter. The project will be up for the next month raising financial support. It follows two young guys in between college and adult life, extended adolescence. It's really funny and has great potential. I was hoping the link could be posted to the SCAD Photo blog to get some exposure and forwarded along within the department. This would be a tremendous help!
Here's the link to the project page: http://kck.st/w1OSVf

Atlanta, GA - Sappi Fine Paper North America announced in September 2010 that SCAD-Atlanta graduate student, and Creative Director at Youth Photo Project, Jessica Little, had been awarded a grant from Sappi’s 11th Ideas that Matter — an annual, innovative grant program that transforms the creative ideas of designers into a powerful force for social good. The grant was used to fund a youth photography program within Covenant House, a shelter and ministry for homeless youth, and provided 40 Holga camera kits to residents in Atlanta and New York earlier this year. The photographic work of over 40 homeless youth, that are or were Covenant House residents over the last year, will be available for your donation this Saturday, Novmber 19 th in the Atlanta studio space of Raftermen, Inc., located at 256 Walker Street. SW, in Casleberry Hill, Atlanta, GA.
The event, and all proceeds raised by the youth's photographs will benefit and honor Covenant House Georgia & New York during the month of November, which is the National Homeless Youth Awareness Month.
About Youth Photo Project
Youth Photo Project is an organization designed to offer youth ages 16 to 21 an opportunity to experience the artistic value of photography. Working with Covenant House — a crisis support and
emergency shelter for homeless, runaway and at-risk youth under the age of 21 — the Youth Photo Project aims to help Covenant House provide crisis intervention and community-based services, shelter and independent living programs.
About Covenant House
If you could crystallize what Covenant House Georgia does into one sentence it would be this: We save kids from the street.
Some of the kids who come to us are victims of abuse. Some were literally dropped on the street by relatives. Some are runaways. Some are kids who have “aged out” of the DFACS system. They all share one thing in common; they’ve turned to CHGA for help.
Covenant House Georgia is the only crisis facility for kids between the ages of 17 and 21. The beds at our shelters are always full. And we need your help. On the following pages you can get an in depth look at our operation and see how we help provide the kids in our care with something many of them have never had in their lives before, hope .
More importantly, you can see what you can do to help.

Through Ideas that Matter, each designer’s project supports the work of a nonprofit organization of their choosing.

Anti-Consumerism Art Contest
Anti-Consumerism Art Contest
Official start: November 1, 2011
The socio-political movement „Anti-Consumerism“ attracts more and more followers. At its heart it is a movement against the equating of personal happiness with consumption and the purchase of material possessions. Fueled by the current economic situation, activists occupy Wall Street, a young casual trader is able to lure BBC into a fake interview where he states, “I go to bed every night, I dream of another recession…. Its an opportunity to make money.” and forums for “creative critiques on consumerism" gain followers rapidly. All this happens in a world where some artists are able to create artworks that are instantly sold for euro amounts up to 7 digits.
How do young artists take on the social challenges of Anti-Consumerism in their works?
We are dedicating a special feature to the hot topic of Anti-Consumerism. The artist contest is purposely being launched during the biggest shopping months before the holidays.
We call out to all artists to participate in our Anti-Consumerism art contest.
What we expect from you
Think about the current shape of our society as a consequence of consumerism, about price wars to get the cheapest possible product, about advertising selling us the dreams that can only be attained by spending money, about the recent excesses in the financial and business worlds and about the billions of taxpayers money that is spent to clean up the mess when it all goes wrong. We also suggest that you ponder the hysteria generated by celebrity football players, pop and movie stars, as well as art stars.
Submit whatever artform you please: it can be photos, T-Shirts, Oil on canvas, collages, stencils, prints, or graffiti … this is an open contest with no pre judgments or category limits.
If you are 18 years or older, you are welcome to participate. No diploma necessary – only your own creativity!
Face a professional jury as well as the public
There will be two winners of our contest, selected by two different juries:
A jury of professionals will select one winner in the standard procedure. The well known street artists ALIAS and PROST themselves will be part of the jury.
Our Facebook fans and our members will choose the other winner: they will vote for the best artwork in our voting gallery. A simple “like” will decide who will be able to present his or her art for two months at www.ArtCollectorsClub.org.
We will announce both winners everywhere: in our blog, in our newsletter, on Facebook and with our media partners. Most importantly though, ArtCollectorsClub will feature the winners in an online event including an indepth artist’s presentation and the option to offer their artworks for sale online.
For more details look through our terms and conditions.
Any questions? Send us and email to ann@artcollectorsclub.org
How to apply
Please send us your application by January 31, 2012 to apply@ArtCollectorsClub.org.
The application should contain
• a digital image of your artwork on the topic “Anti Consumerism”,
• a short description how your artwork fits the topic
• a short CV of you as an artist
• and images of 3-5 further artworks you have created.
Timing
Application deadline: January 31, 2012
Decision of the Jury: by February 10, 2012
Announcement of the winners: February 11, 2012
Online-Exhibition of the winners: February 20 - March 31, 2012
Why should you participate in yet another contest?
Of course, we can’t offer money in a contest about Anti Consumerism. We will offer something even better: we will dedicate the whole web presence ofwww.ArtCollectorsClub.org to our winners for two whole months. We will feature those two artists in an online presentation / exhibition and give them all the public exposure they deserve. And on top of that: If you win you have the chance to exhibit in the Munich gallery, Radical Room. This is our way of contributing to young and emerging artists.
And now: have fun, be creative and send in your application!

Savannah Past and Present by Bailey Davidson
New Photographic Book by Local Photographer Documents Transformation of Savannah
Savannah, Georgia – November 1, 2011 - Bailey Davidson, owner of Bailey Davidson Photography in Downtown Savannah, Georgia, is proud to announce the release of his second self-published book.
Savannah Past and Present is a rephotographic survey of the city of Savannah and it's surrounding areas. The 160-page hardcover book features a foreword by local author Martha Keber and offers a fascinating visual documentation of the transformation and preservation of this historic city. The collection of 144 images stretches from the River Street waterfront and commercial/residential areas of the Historic District to Tybee Island and Fort Screven. Each page juxtaposes a historic black and white image - from the archives of the Georgia Historical Society, the Savannah Historic Foundation, the Tybee Island Historical Society and others - with a present-day color image taken from the same point of view.
"Although this book is not the first rephotographic survey of Savannah, I feel that is a true representation of the concept." Davidson says. "Standing in the same spot as the previous photographer offers an honest 'compare and contrast' effect. It is my hope that Savannah Past and Present will give people a better understanding of the place we so love."
Savannah Past and Present is the perfect book for locals who call the city home and for visitors who never want to forget this gem of the South. It is available locally at E. Shaver Booksellers (326 Bull Street, Savannah, GA 31401, phone: (912) 234-7257) or directly from the author at http://www.savannahpastandpresent.com
A book signing and Meet & Greet with the author is scheduled for Saturday, November 12th from 3 - 5 pm at E Shaver Booksellers.
