A Shenere Velt Gallery of The Workmen's Circle/Arbeter Ring, Southern California District, has issued a Call for Artists to participate in a juried exhibition entitled "Utopia." It will be on display November 5 through December 29, 2006, in the Gallery, 1525 S. Robertson Blvd., Los Angeles, California. The deadline for submission of materials is September 1, 2006.

Jurors are Mark Vallen, artist and social commentator; Mark Greenfield, artist and Director of the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery; and Alice Wexler, writer, scholar and biographer of Emma Goldman.

Artists are asked to submit slides of up to three wall-hung works in any media (except jewelry and ceramics) that speak to the theme of "Utopia." In a world climate of pessimism and fear, dreams of earthly paradise and possibility are vital. Pieces selected for this show will reflect on the myriad imaginings of perfect worlds and the shapes they might take.

Any artist wishing to obtain a copy of the prospectus for the show may download it from www.circlesocal.org. Or write to A Shenere Velt Gallery, 1525 S. Robertson Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90035-4231 and enclose a business-size self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE).

A Shenere Velt means "a more beautiful world" in Yiddish. For more information contact gallery@circlesocal.org or call (310) 552-2007.

A Shenere Velt Gallery is part of the national Workmen's Circle/Arbeter Ring, which has been active in Southern California since 1908, dedicated to Jewish culture and social justice.
