University of Lethbridge artists have an opportunity to see their work reproduced and used as gifts for exhibitors at the 2010 Career Fair, to be held in the fall.

As part of a long-standing and very popular tradition at the U of L Career Fair, a limited edition print is presented to each employer in attendance. The organizing committee is once again seeking submissions from local talent and invites all interested U of L students and alumni to consider participating in the selection process. Should you be chosen, this serves as an excellent opportunity to showcase your talent.

Previous submissions have either been newly created pieces based on the current Career Fair theme, or are chosen from a portfolio of the artist's existing pieces. This year's theme is Start Here...Go Anywhere!

Artists will have the option of creating something new, based on this year's theme, or allowing the organizing committee to browse their portfolio of work available for purchase. Those interested in submitting items can arrange a time to bring their portfolio by the Arts & Science Coop/Applied Studies office. To discuss this opportunity in greater detail, contact Catharine Reader at catharine.reader@uleth.ca. Submissions must be a painting or similar medium that can be easily reproduced.

Submissions will be accepted up until July 19, at which time the selected piece will be announced. The chosen piece will be purchased and a limited number of prints created for use at the Career Fair.
