San Jose’s community-based, artist-owned First Street gallery, WORKS, hosts its benefit auction next weekend, with work available to view now and bidding starting next Saturday evening, the 22nd.

Several people who’ve been featured in Synchronized Chaos over the years have pieces up for auction, including Reuben Rutledge, Kimy Martinez, Wayne Jiang, and many others.
Announcement from the gallery:

Pieces range in size and form, media and subject, creating a diverse array of artwork that represents the broad artistic spirit of artists in and around San Jose. The art will be auctioned on Saturday May 22nd to support the ongoing activities of Works. Gala reception and final preview at 5 p.m., bidding for live and silent auction begins at 7 p.m. Please join us for an exciting evening!

New calls for submissions from other journals!
protestpoems. org is a poetry journal entirely devoted to, and fully committed to, new poetry that tackles human rights issues worldwide.
The journal strives to present the best poems of protest written to promote freedom of speech and human rights. It is updated fortnightly. We publish a maximum six poems a month to keep a steady flow of relevant protests. Although we update the journal often, we are very selective. We are looking for edge.
The website and mailing lists provide information about persecuted writers, along with letters of protest ready for our subscribers to cut and paste. To receive emails (once a month, on average) with protest information focused on a specific persecuted writer, send an email to <write(at)protestpo ems.org> (replace (at) with @). Please write SUBSCRIBE in your subject line.
Planned remaining publication dates for 2010 are :
22 May
05 June
19 June
03 July
17 July
31 July
14 August

Submission guidelines
It’s simple.
We’re not looking for partisan propaganda. We’re not looking for party-political mouthings. We’re not looking for sentimental depictions of what you see on the TV. We’re not looking for rhyming greetings card verses.
We want you to champion, not yourselves, but human rights; the rights of those who don’t have the freedom to write and speak as we do. Rage. Celebrate. Mourn. Demand. Scream. Dance.
Formal complaints are especially exciting. There’s something wonderfully subversive about a villanelle that attacks a government deliberately making the same mistake over and over again.
If you need to be inspired, read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Then check out any objective newsfeed or news site.
Paste your poems (a maximum of 3 one-page poems), into the body of an email and send to <write(at)protestpo ems.org> (replace (at) with @). If necessary, you can email a single .doc or .rtf file containing all the poems you are submitting.
Include a brief bio.
We will accept poems previously published on paper, as long as you hold the copyright. We will not accept poems which are already (or have previously been) published online (including blogs). We will publish a poet only once a year.
If your poem deals with a specific call for action, or commemorates a specific person, please let us know.
This one is for mature audiences:

Lights On for the Arts! Call for diverse submissions – San Francisco’s Russian Hill
Tarryn Teresa Gallery is pleased to announce Lights on S.F., a public art event celebrating Bay Area artists. The project, developed and organized by Tarryn Teresa Gallery in downtown Los Angeles, is composed of energy efficient CFL light bulbs decorated by individual artists and then collected into a single, temporary exhibit. Each evening the bulbs will be illuminated at the same time as city street lights, overwhelming the park with the light from the collected assembly of light bulbs.
Tarryn Soderberg, director of Tarryn Teresa Gallery, conceived of the Lights on… project as a way to focus attention on the arts during difficult economic times, when “nonessentials” typically suffer. The installation is meant to serve as a reminder of the role that a vital and diverse artistic community plays in any successful urban environment.
They are calling for artists to purchase and decorate CFL lightbulbs for this installation! Please visit the link for more information.
