This has literally been my most stressful week for a good year, and we're only just halfway through! Fear not, though, as it's with manic energy and enthusiasm that I bring you these delicious morsels of news – personally I blame it on the moon, which is full at the moment and was LOOMING (lune-ing? Haha, I told you I was manic!) over Nottingham last night. If anyone got any good shots, sound off in the comments!
First up, RAW Collective, "Nottingham's Premier Photographer's Group", have organised an Art on the Square event for this Sunday, 18th September. As you might guess, it'll take place on Market Square, and it involves art, which you can buy, from the artists, in exchange for currency. And maybe kittens (NOT kittens, just cash, mew!)
They'll be there 10am-4pm, which sounds like a good time slot, because they probably wouldn't get much custom 10pm-4am. It's probably illegal to trade on those hours on a Sunday anyway.
THERE'S MORE! If you like art, and you like the outdoors, you might like street art…? Ramblers all have their own graffiti tags, right? Anyway, maybe I've gotten that mixed up and those demographics don't go together. Find out for yourself by heading to the Lace Market Gallery this week, where mr the beef, who is an excellent local artist, is holding his first solo exhibition, having won the Salon Des Refuses competition. See the BBC coverage here.
FINALLY, Antenna are holding their first "Show Off" event next Monday 19th September. The clue's in the name – various creatives will be showing off whatever they're good at, so it should be a great chance to make contacts, network, and/or show off stuff yourself! Also check out the flyer here (warning: PDF link).
Right, once more unto the breach…

Grand Union at THE EVENT 2011
 21 – 30 October 2011
Grand Union, Fazeley Street, Birmingham
Birmingham Contemporary Art Forum is delighted to announce it will be hosting The Event's third bi-annual visual art festival from 21 – 30 October 2011. As part of The Event 2011 Grand Union will be hosting a group exhibition of a curatorial relay, or conversation between exhibition and selection.
Alluding to the theme of The Event, Plato's Symposium, the exhibition will be formed as a space of multiple voices; different positions coming together and merging indistinctly to link back to a common thread.
To form part of this process Grand Union's Helen Brown is inviting submissions of flm, video, animation, documentary, features and shorts to be presented as a one-off multi- screen installation at Grand Union on Friday 28 October.
Submissions should be on DVD with title, name and any supporting information included.
Please note that submissions can be of any length, but all presented submissions may be subject to editing.
Please only submit copies not original or unique material, as unfortunately submissions cannot be returned.
Send submissions to: Open Call
19 Minerva Works, Fazeley Street, Birmingham B5 5RS
 Deadline  for submissions: Friday 30 September
For more information contact info@grand-union.org.uk

Bedford Open Poetry Competition
Closing date: 18th November 2011.
Prizes: I am reliably informed that the 1st Prize is £300, the 2nd Prize is £150 and the 3rd Prize £50. However the organisers of this competition (interpretershouse.org.uk) are a trifle reticent on the subject, as this information does not appear on their web site.
Entry fee: £3.00 per poem.
Judged by Paul Groves. Winners will be announced early next year.
