A while back, we featured a group called GLOVEBOX in a Horses for Courses post (about arts orgs that identify a very specific need and then shape their org and its programs to meet that need).
I love the way the founders of GLOVEBOX (Liz Comperchio and Jodie Baehre McMenamin) saw how difficulties that emerging artists face, like finding exhibition opportunities and a supportive community, could be turned into an organizational mission.
Until now, GLOVEBOX has primarily worked with visual artists, curating intriguing shows like JUNKO REVIVAL, an exhibition of “junk”-themed art, installed in a second-hand clothing store. This year, GLOVEBOX will be hosting its first-ever film festival, to screen on June 11 at the Somerville Theatre.
The juried festival will showcase short films and animations from local artists. Links or short clips should be sent to GLOVEBOX by April 20, 2011. Check out the festival’s blog for more information.
