Call For Submissions – Art Hop Display Show in Gallery Format (as yet untitled) – June 7, 2007

The Central Valley Music Archive Project is seeking show fliers of independent and underground bands from the years 1980-2000 for display in a gallery format.

Flier Criteria Guidelines

Flier contains at least one regional band. This band does not need to be the headlining act.

<CHECK OUT SOME OLD SCHOOL EXAMPLES!

The show venue is within the Central Valley.

The performance falls within the time frame of 1980 – 2000.

The Band / Flier can be classified as part of the underground movement; i.e., punk, experimental, etc. If uncertain, please contact me. All will be considered, but not all can be included.

There are Three ways to contribute materials to the show:

1.) Donate your fliers to CVMAP for long-term appropriate care.

2.) Loan your fliers for the duration of the show, to be returned at a time of your stipulation.

Both of the above options require a simple Deed of Gift or Loan Agreement form, which I will provide.

3.) Allow me to take a digital picture of your items, to be printed and displayed at the show. You may also share a digital image of a flier for me to print with your permission.

Contributor names will be included in a Credit Line at the show if possible

All sizes will be considered, with an emphasis on 8.5" x 11."

Special consideration will be given to items containing unique artistic expression in various mediums.

To share the history your walls or closet may hold, even for a brief time, please contact Mark at:

Deadline For Submissions is May 31, 2007.

Additional Information:

The Central Valley Music Archive Project (CVMAP) is dedicated to the preservation, collection and display of vintage concert fliers and posters from various local independent music scenes. CVMAP will highlight the unique artistic and musical history our valley holds with a Summer Art Hop exhibit of concert fliers spanning the years 1980 - 2000. This exhibit will feature fliers from numerous underground local bands active during this time, showing a wide range of the traditional media used to create band flier artwork.

CVMAP is brought to you by Mark Halvorsen, a guy who still buys demo tapes off ebay. Arriving in Fresno late in 1986, he was fortunate enough to catch the tail-end of an era and experience the beginning of another. A graduate student in Archival Studies, he convinced a professor to let him design this gallery show instead of writing research papers.

Wow! Bakotopia really makes this post standout! Video examples, and the spotlight! Heheheheeeee!! :P Comment From: thenovelist

I just hope bands respond and see the importance in such a project Comment From: matt

Absolutley....They should. So much good art came out of those days. Once the net came out, it killed a great art form, just MTV did in the '80s. Oh well..we gotta roll on. Comment From: Thesilenceclub
