The Art Of Hint Fiction

From the Columbia (Missouri) Art League:

Hint Fiction August 23 – October 1, 2011 Opening Reception: Thursday, September 1, 2011 Artwork submission dates: Friday and Saturday, August 19 and 20, 2011

An anthology of 125 short stories, each told in 25 words or fewer, is the inspiration and muse for this juried show. Editor Robert Swartwood’s book Hint Fiction (published by W. W. Norton & Company, New York) is a compilation of stories, which each suggest a larger, more complex story.

Artists are invited to choose one of the works in the book, taking the story as the title and inspiration for their work. This is a juried show open to CAL members and non-members. Artists may submit two works for consideration. Entry fees (per person, not per work) are $15 for members and $25 for non-members.

Copies of the book are available to borrow from the Columbia Art League or for purchase from the University Bookstore.
