POCATELLO, Idaho -- A national women's art
exhibit, "Women Celebrating: Their Strength and Vision," at Idaho
State University is issuing a call for original artwork by women
artists, both professional and amateur.

Hosted by the Women's Studies Program at Idaho State, the eighth
annual juried show features artists from throughout the United
States displaying various media, including ceramics, glasswork,
painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture, jewelry, metalsmithing,
photography and fiber arts such as book art, weaving, basketry and
quilting. The show will run March 19-30, 2007. Artists may submit
up to three entries for consideration. One slide or high-resolution
digital image on CD or DVD for each piece of artwork may be entered.
The deadline to enter is Feb. 2, 2007.
Originality of expression, uniqueness and fine workmanship are
critical selection components. Exhibition theme is considered but
with broad interpretation.
Judging for the "Women Celebrating" art show is a two-step
process. First, all entries received are reviewed by two
professional artists and a layperson with a women's studies
background. Pieces receive a score between one and five from each
judge. Those with the highest combined scores will be placed in the
show.

 Artwork subsequently displayed in the show is then judged by an
anonymous jury panel that includes professional artists. Each piece
will receive a score between one and 10 from each judge. Entries
with the highest combined scores will be awarded best of show,
second place, third place and merit awards. A People's Choice Award
will also be given. Cash prizes accompany awards.
Interested artists can request an entry form by calling Susan
Green Barger, assistant director of the Women's Studies Program at
Idaho State University, at 208-282-5197 or go to

entry fee of $25 for nonstudents and $10 for students must accompany
