HEADS UP: Call For Submissions For E.T. Inspired Art Show “Pull My Glowing Finger”

Well, this is different. Local fans of the 1982 film E.T. – The Extra Terrestrial are throwing down with a spring art show and silent auction on Saturday, April 20th at Toast Collective (648 Kingsway). It’s called Pull My Glowing Finger (because of course it is), and all of the art will be E.T.-centric. Right now they are looking for likeminded E.T. wonks to contribute their creative efforts. The guidelines are as follows: use any medium and get as creative as you want. Email a jpeg of your submission (works in progress are fine) to [email protected]. If your work is accepted (and why wouldn’t it be?) you – the artist – get to set the reserve auction price and keep 80% of what is paid for your masterpiece (don’t worry, you can also choose not to sell). Inspired? Good. Now scoot on over to their Facebook page for submisison details. And just in case you’re one of our younger readers and your New Age folks hated on TV, this is E.T.
