While We’re Away

Posting is going to be a little light around here for the next week or so. We’re going to that place that Michiganders affectionately call “Up North” for the weekend, and then buckling down in preparation for the People’s Arts Festival. In the meantime, may we suggest a few things to keep you busy?

• The Silent Giants have a show going on at 323East. We missed the opening and don’t have pics, but their posters will be up through the weekend.
• You can head to Midtown tonight for the Canfield Street Market. 5-9 outside of City Bird.
• After that, hit up the closing reception for That DAM Box Show. 6-9 pm at the Detroit Artists Market.
• Send us a submission! Suggest an artist for us to blog about by emailing us at heyyouguys at perfectlaughter dot com. Please don’t be shy about suggesting yourself, even if you don’t have a fancy website/portfolio. Send us a couple of images, and you could get a little piece of the internet in the form of a Perfect Laughter blog post.
• We’re in the middle of finishing a couple of new prints. We’ve been posting process pics on Twitter, as well as other daily shenanigans. You can follow us at @perfectlaughtr.
• If you’re not into Twitter, we have a Facebook fan page or a like page or whatever it’s called this week. But we try to only post important stuff on there so we’re not spammin’ up people’s Facebooks.

We’ll try to post a few times next week as we are able, and we hope to see you next weekend at the People’s Arts Festival!

Call for Artists- That DAM Box Show

The Detroit Artists’ Market will be holding their second THAT DAM BOX SHOW this August. The Gallery has put out an open call to artists to customize film real shipping boxes any way they seem fit that will then be placed in a silent auction on August 10th, and concluding with a closing reception on the 20th . The boxes were donated by Wayne State University and all proceeds will benefit the Detroit Artists Market.

Here is an example of what the boxes look like.

Artists (members and non-members alike) can pick up their box at the DAM (4719 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201) now, and submissions are due August 3-7 with each piece having an opening bid of $25.00. There is no entry fee and the film boxes are free.
