PROPAGANDA III
We are inviting artists from around the world to create
political artwork for the third (and
final!) installment of our PROPAGANDA art
show.
In 2007, START SOMA will
launch PROPAGANDA III, a political poster art show that will tour the
world through
2008.
There will be no curation and absolutely NO censorship of
any sort. Expressed political viewpoints, be they left, right, or center, will
be displayed side-by-side, both online AND in the real world. We are currently accepting poster submissions from around the
world.
PROPAGANDA III will tour the
globe through 2008, with dozens of
one day art shows worldwide - the current schedule includes stops throughout north america, south america, australia, asia, europe, and the
middle east.
NO art will be
sold at any of the shows, although copies of the
posters will be available for sale directly through the websites of
participating artists. This is NOT a commercial art show, but rather
a celebration of free speech + untrammeled freedom of expression.
PROPAGANDA III opens in San Francisco on July 4, 2007.
The exhibition will travel the world for at least one year, adding posters throughout the tour.
The PROPAGANDA III show will close in San Francisco sometime in late 2008.
