Hi Folks,

One clarification. There is no "entrance fee" just a required annual membership donation, just like rhizome has for posting here, which provides a variety of benefits, including being able to upload materials for opportunities such as being considered for this and other shows.

Thanks for spreading the word Lee! I'm so excited about 1800Frames|Take3, curated by Mica Scalin and Lee Wells!

Cheers,

Ben Goldman
cWOW Executive Director
