It's hard to believe, but it's that time again: we're now accepting suggestions for the EBSQ Exhibition Calendar for 2009.

I can tell you a few things that will definitely be on the calendar before you start throwing your ideas out:

Robots*
Macro Bug Photography*
Squid*
9th Annual Ripped Off
9th Annual Portrait Swap
8th Annual Pet Portrait Swap
Better Late Than Never

*there's a very good chance these shows will be juried

So now--we're turning it over to you. What would YOU like to see on next year's calendar?

More time, please!

Oh, okay....I guess you meant exhibit options. Assuming FOTM is still going to be a monthly feature, how about Spanish Moss (yes, I know it isn't a flower, but not everything we do is....). Saw Palmetto is another choice for me in this category, too.

In other news.....

Recess
Money
Prehistoric Man
Loss
Misunderstanding
Burlesque
Solar System
Joy
Growing Pains
Success
Organization/Disorganization
Global Indigenous Peoples
Women in Ancient History
Odd Pets
Conflicted Sexuality

More to come....

I just had a thought on this one, it could be a January show, start off the New Years by trying somthing New!!

Add to that, do we do a New Years Resolution every year???

While I like this in theory, I think it works better as a community challenge rather than as a cohesive exhibit that would make sense to a random site patron.
