hello!  

we would like to introduce ourselves.  we're project hello, and we want to meet you. we're from denver, and are here to unite the creative community -- visual artists, crafters, designers, musicians, fashion and jewelry designers, writers, culinary artists, film makers and performers. we believe that creativity fuels inspiration, support encourages action, and that we're stronger in numbers, so let's get together. 

project hello is an event to gather, foster, promote and expose our efforts. this is a call to all creatives, whether or not you have experience in publicly presenting your work, to show us what you've got. we want to support you, we want you to support us, and we feel this will benefit the entire community. 

we know introductions can be a bit awkward, so naturally, that's what we're asking of you. please submit your idea for a work centered on the concept of introduction.  we want you to explore how introductions enable you to express you and your creative self.  depending on your discipline, your piece could assume any form you feel suitable for the festival setting of project hello. this could be a painting, a film,  a performance, a demonstration, a signature dish... anything.  we are interested in this expression as an act of introducing yourself and your work to the community. your peers, the greater creative community, and its patrons will all be saying "hello" back to you and your work through this project, so it should reveal who you are as a creative individual. 

please submit by march 1, 2010 to be considered for exhibition inclusion by a jury of your fellow creatives to be presented at project hello at the TAXI complex on May 8, 2010.

we look forward to getting to know you!  

smiles,

PROJECT HELLO
