Announcing the 1st official Mangabento exhibit (DRAFT FORM- the reception date is the only thing set in stone)

Drop off of work: Any meeting in November or December for pieces 11x14 or smaller. All others should be delivered on the 14th. You will need to help install the work if it is unusual in any way. If you would like to display anything unusual, please discuss it with us prior to 12-14.

Mail: November through December 12, you may send work to me at school. Packages came late through inter-departmental mail from Maui- a whooping 2 weeks for delivery! If you are running late, use the Postal Service or drop it off at my school or with a Manga Bento member. I was not able to return large packages to Maui via inter-departmental mail.

Set-up Dec 14, 2008
1-6 pm

Opening Reception Dec 20
Exhibit Dec 20-31 (possibly into January depending upon the Academy. Final date to be announced)
Pick-up of work: TBA- with frames and all, we will not be able to store anything.

Location:

Honolulu Academy of Arts
Linekona Art Center
Upstairs Gallery

Media: Anything related to manga and anime or its derivatives: drawings, paintings, manga, photos, sculptures, hand made costumes, hand made dolls or doll clothing, hand made stuffed animals etc. Animation is ok but you will need to provide a monitor and player if you want the public to see it for the length of the show. I think we can borrow a monitor to view the work during the opening reception. You are encouraged to submit multiple pieces.

Goal: to show the diversity of the influence Manga and anime has had upon the art world and local culture.

Size limits:

Work can be almost any size as long as you are willing to hang and take it down. The Academy does not have a storage area.

If you do not wish to help with installation, max size is 11 x 14. Be aware that unframed work will be directly mounted to the wall using double sided 3M tape or silly putty which could damage the surface of your art unless it it protected by a mat. Unframed work should be done on heavy stock paper.

Quality: digital prints should be done at approximately 300 pixels/inch (dpi) in order to eliminate the jaggies. JPG compression should be set to high quality.

Clip on frames with glass will not be allowed.

We will hang as much as we can but will reserve the right to NOT hang submitted work for any reason.

Reception: pot luck

What is Mangabento?
-from the main site~

MangaBento is an anything-goes gathering of artists and art lovers. Most of us are interested in Japan and anime/manga and its derivatives: Cosplay, doujinshi, computer art, gaming, etc.

We at MangaBento provide a place for artists to share ideas, create work, and learn new skills. We can introduce you to the basic tools and techniques used by manga artists, butS it is up to you to develop and train yourself as an artist.
