Art Opportunities Monthly Professional (AOM) is offering a free, no-obligation 3-month subscription for those not yet familiar with it. It is for professional artists and protographers, and those who would like to be.
AOM, a monthly list of opportunities (grants, juried shows, public art commissions, etc.) with world-wide circulation, has been around for over 14 years. It is preferred because it screens out the scams and for-profit “contests” and presents each hand-selected, carefully edited opp in a quick-to-scan capsulized form. It is sent in a highly search-able, smartly organized PDF directly to your email addresses. No passwords to remember or lose.
To find out more and sign up, simply go to:
Your email address and other information will be kept absolutely private. You do not have to enter your credit card number or anything other than your name and email address. No obligation, no gimmicks.
This offer is only for those who are not current subscribers. Expires May 16, 2014.

I’m an encaustic artist and have been looking for a good hake brush line that stays together in hot wax and doesn’t fall apart with normal use. This is a quality, well made brush at a great price!
