Call for Submissions
Now accepting applications for A Celebration of the Figure II, a major figurative art show in Washington, DC. Work may be any media so long as it is nude or mostly so; portraits not included. The exhibit last year garnered more than 180 pieces from 70 artists around the country and Norway. Deadline is July 6, 2005.

The opening reception on July 8 will feature a belly dancer performing all night from a special area painted to reflect an appropriate Middle Eastern venue. A video of this will be included in a CD Rom created for the exhibit. This will include artist's bio and headshot, as well as each work of art and other items of interest.

A copy of last year's CD is available, and includes the 7/18/2005 body painting session that was part of the 2nd anniversary of the Figure Models Guild. Copies may be ordered for $10, plus $2 handling and postage. Make checks payable to David R. Quammen.

Applications for the 2005 exhibit may be downloaded from MOCADC.org, by request to Figuremodel@verizon.net or requested by mail, as below. Send requests for the CD Rom of the 2004 exhibit to:
