Postcards From the Edge is a Visual AIDS benefit exhibition and sale of original, postcard-sized artworks by established and emerging artists. This year, the event is even more special because it inaugurates the 25th Anniversary year. All artwork is exhibited anonymously.

With the playing field leveled, all participants can take home a piece by a famous artist, or someone who is just making their debut. Nonetheless, collectors walk away with a piece of art they love, knowing that the money raised will support HIV prevention and AIDS awareness. Click here for more info.

Slideluck combines slideshows from professional and amateur photographers with a potluck dinner, and provides a great opportunity to display your work to a wide audience, and to meet other photographers and photography lovers in the District. Our last FotoWeek show drew over 300 photography lovers, and we had a terrific time.

Slideluck 8 will be an official Fotoweek DC event and will be held at Fotoweek Headquarters, which is in Malmaison, a new (and huge) restaurant/bar/arts space opening in Georgetown. Slideluck will take over the space on the night of Sunday, November 11th, for slideshows, potluck dinner, and our always fun party. Please see the email below for directions on how to submit your work--we expect over 200 paying attendees, and this is a terrific opportunity to display your work in the District (and get into our event with a guest for free!). 

The submission deadline is Thursday, November 1st.

Design a Wine Label

Capital Grille

Attention Artists: The Capital Grille Now Accepting Submissions

for 2012 Wine Label Design Competition

Artists of all media are invited to enter; winning artwork will adorn bottle

of exclusive 2009 Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon

ORLANDO, Fla. (Sept. 30, 2012) – The Capital Grille is now accepting artwork submissions for its fourth-annual Artist Series Wine Label Design Competition. Through October 19, 2012, aspiring and established artists nationwide, aged 21 years or older, are invited to submit original artwork that will be considered for the label of a limited-allocation wine served exclusively at The Capital Grille, whose award-winning wine program is routinely recognized by Wine Spectator magazine. In addition to having his or her artwork adorn the bottles of this year’s featured vintage, the winning artist also will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the wine country of California’s Napa Valley.

This unique competition sponsored by The Capital Grille celebrates the art of the wine label.  For centuries, wine-label design was about as basic and austere as a shipping label. That changed in 1940 when Baron Phillippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild began enlisting famous artists, including Joan Miro and Pablo Picasso, to craft a masterpiece for the outside of the bottle that would beautifully convey the work of art inside.

The bottled inspiration for the 2012 Artist Series competition is a 2009 Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon, blended by winemaker Heidi von der Mehden from Arrowood Winery and George Miliotes, The Capital Grille’s own Master Sommelier. Intensely purple in color, this wine presents aromas of ripe, dark fruits that are matched on the palate with notes of blackberry, plum and blueberry. Mehden and Miliotes describe this exceptional wine as “a natural beauty,” imparting layers of flavor that begin with a deep intensity and end with a soft, rich finish.

“This competition combines two complementary cultural passions: fine wine and fine art,” said Miliotes. “While my expertise focuses on what’s inside the bottle, I love that this competition is as much about the palette as it is the palate.”
Only 1,000 cases of the Arrowood Cabernet will be produced for this year’s Artist Series event, which will take place next spring in all 47 locations of The Capital Grille nationwide. The restaurants will donate a portion of the proceeds from each bottle sold to Share Our Strength in support of its mission to end childhood hunger in America. To date, The Capital Grille has raised more than $1,000,000 on behalf of the organization.

How to Enter
To enter, use the medium of your choice to create an original piece of art that captures the essence of this exclusive, world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Entries should be original artwork and will be accepted through October 19, 2012. Entries will be accepted via mail or email. To enter, visit http://www.thecapitalgrille.com/enter/ for contest rules and details.
