are pleased to announce the following
CALLS FOR ENTRIES for the 2003-2004 season.

"THE ECLECTIC ELECTRIC": September 5 - October 4, 2003
This critically-acclaimed series simultaneously marks its return to our exhibition schedule, and its debut here in Chicago. This is an invitational exhibition, featuring works in all media, with the common requirements of function (implicit or implied) and the use of electricity (Household current or battery-powered acceptable). While one might rightly expect a variety of lamps and clocks, there are always a few surprises in store!

Entry Deadline: August 15, 2003.

Email ENTRY FORM, images of up to three works (jpegs), artist Bio, to: director@functionart.com By US mail: Function + Art, 1046 W. Fulton Mkt. Chicago, IL 60607 Please include SASE and images (slides, prints or transparencies)

"VESSELS, BOXES, and BASKETS": October 10 - November 4, 2003.
One of our signature exhibitions returns with an added twist: an exhibition within an exhibition. VBB will, as usual, feature works in all media which fit the definition of a Box, a Vessel, or a Basket… by selected artists nationwide. This year, however, in coordination with the Chicago Cultural Center's mounting of "The Artful Teapot", VBB will incorporate a special grouping of teapots, "2 a Tea", which will remain on exhibition through the end of the year. Functional, sculptural, and conceptual artwork in all media meeting the description of a vessel, box or basket. This is intended to be a whole-gallery exhibition and will comprise up to 45 such artworks. Edition / series work is acceptable, provided the edition or series is limited to 10 or fewer. Return Shipping guaranteed.
**Selected works from this show to be exhibited at SOFA-Chicago Oct. 16-19
** Works to arrive Sept.29 - October 3.

Entry Deadline: August 15, 2003.
