WHAT HAVE WE HERE (July 1st-31st)
Deadline: 6/1/2011

WHAT HAVE WE HERE is a month-long exhibition which aims to render a new landscape of contemporary artists living in Montana. Opening Friday, July 1st in Uptown Butte’s Historic Phoenix Building and coinciding with the first annual Montana Folk Festival, this exhibit will showcase artists working within a wide range of creative mediums. Submissions may range from painting, illustration, sculpture, and photography to sound, video, and performance art--a multiplicity of both form and content is welcome and encouraged.

Artists are invited to submit at least three samples of work and an artist’s statement (links to the artist’s blog or website are welcome) to scoria.butte@gmail.com. The deadline for all submissions is June 1st, 2011.

SCORIA is an amalgamation of artists, writers, researchers, activists and advocates pooling their talents to create new definitions for work, life, and creativity within Butte, Montana’s post-industrial landscape. We host a residency programs for individuals interested in living and working in Uptown Butte. Our inaugural summer schedule will include Grassroots Mapping projects with artist-in-residence Mathew Lippincott of the Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science, as well as live music, poetry readings, outdoor film screenings, and a series of community-led lectures.
Our mission is to foster the exchange of ideas across many communities and to discover ways in which those communities can both support and benefit from their most passionate and inquisitive members.
