Prizes. Deadline: June 23, 2008. Automatic Entry into August & September Contests

Media Advisory

NEW YORK/EWORLDWIRE/June 5, 2008 --- All visual artists are invited by Barebrush's founder and CEO, Ilene Skeen, to submit art of the n*de for the July 2008 N*des-of-the-Month calendar contest.

Art collector, independent curator and popular Salmagundi Club member, Tim Newton will serve as guest curator. Newton has been a passionate lover of the arts all his life. As a dedicated and enthusiastic collector, he nurtures his collection with frequent trips around the country to view and buy art.

Widely regarded as a designer, juror and curator, Newton is perhaps best known in his role as founder and curator of "American Masters at SCNY." This annual show and sale held at the prestigious Salmagundi Club in New York City exhibited over $1,600,000 in fine art this past May. Sales for this inaugural event were impressive.

"I have a strong leaning toward representational art, whether it be a line drawing, painting or a sculpture. That being said, solid artistic work in any form stands on its own."

When asked to curate the July N*des-of-the-Month calendar, Newton responded with a resounding, "I'd be delighted!"

The deadline for contest entries is June 23. All artists who work in this controversial genre are encouraged submit their art. As part of the Barebrush Summer Promotion, art entered on or before June 23, 2008 will be automatically considered for the July, August and September 2008 N*des-of-the-Month contests.

The curators for these future shows include a museum curator and a Chelsea art dealer respectively. Announcements of the guest curator for each month are made the first week of the deadline month. The curator for the August contest will be announced July 3.
