			<descr> <![CDATA[CultureCandy and the Louisiana State Museum-Baton Rouge announced the second annual "Uncommon Thread Wearable Art Show FORCE 2008," Oct. 18, 8 p.m. Selected submissions will be featured in a multidisciplinary presentation. The theme of "FORCE" is meant to give participants a concept that enhances the art's ability to communicate with the audience. "FORCE" can be interpreted by its role in nature, the military, physicality or emotion. Artists can also react against the theme with inspired thoughts of passivity, fragility or subservience. The work will be judged on the artist's ability to skillfully construct and intelligently convey their message. <a target="_blank" id="http://www.culturecandy.org|" onmouseover="" onmouseout="" href="http://www.culturecandy.org">Download the prospectus</a>, or <a id="mailto:erin@culturecandy.org|" onmouseover="" onmouseout="" href="mailto:erin@culturecandy.org">e-mail</a> or call 225.219.0726 for more information.]]> </descr>
