Dream In Plastic's "Custom Custom Show" Call For Entries! Customizers Wanted!

Beacon, NY — located roughly an hour outside of the City by car, train or bus ride — is an amazing art community that holds a "Second Saturday" event every month; that is, to say, the second Saturday of any given month sees every gallery in town having an opening reception. And Dream In Plastic is part of it. On June 9th, this wonderful shop & gallery will be holding it's third custom toy group show and they are making a worldwide open call for customizers… or, as they say, this "show is open to anyone, and open to any toy platform!" But, for the first time, they are challenging artists to not only customize existing toy platforms but also to create their own from scratch:

"Toy artists have creative license to create any creature they desire. We encourage YOU to try your hand designing your own toy from a blank figure such as MUNNY, Qee, etc. However, you can really create a toy from anything you like. Cut up other toys and melt them together, sew your toy a little jumpsuit, take apart your VCR and use the pieces - whatever. Multiple toy submissions are welcome."

If you feel up for the challenge, then start making your customs! All submissions must be in hand at Dream In Plastic by Thursday, June 7th at 7PM. If you need to mail your custom to them, just drop them a line at info [at] dreaminplastic [dot] com for the specifics. All pieces in the show are for sale & Dream In Plastic take an very reasonably low commission rate, which you can inquire about at the previously mentioned e-mail address. For customizers, this is a great chance to have your work seen by reviewers such as myself and the staff of Clutter Magazine, who have an office near Dream In Plastic. And, as a reviewer, you'll have to trust me that seeing things in-person can make all the difference to us.

The "Custom Custom Show" opens on Saturday, June 9th with a reception from 6-10PM during which coffee and home-made cupcakes will be served. The show will be available for viewing during normal business hours for one month at Dream In Plastic, 177 Main St., Beacon, NY 12508.
