Window display project

WORD is seeking artists (amateur and accomplished) to create original window displays.

We are looking for ideas involving, but not specific to, literature, books, the neighborhood and our store, with occasional window displays geared toward in-store events. Of course we are also open to all sorts of exhibits and eagerly await your thoughts and visions.

Please drop off or email a proposal which can consist of anything you see fit to communicate your idea (sketches, photographs, a letter, etc.) along with your contact information.

Unfortunately we cannot offer any compensation for materials or installation hours, but we can offer a beautiful well-lit space to display your work to the public for one month, twenty-four hours a day.

Let’s read the classics. Dickens, Faulkner, Jackie Collins. Lets begin with “Hollywood Wives.” The themes and subtext in this novel foreshadow today’s celebrity scandal obsessed society and the difficulties of aging women in the film industry and to stay in the game most women have to have plastic surgery, give lots of *edited by moderator for super-racy sexual content* and survive a serial killer’s wrath. Riveting, complicated, you will think of it long after you’ve finished reading. All my love and blessings on your head for success. The store looks homey and modern. I will get there one day soon…XOXO
