Burners Without Borders: Artist Residency in Haiti

Burners Without Borders (BWB) is a grassroots, volunteer-driven, community leadership organization (founded by former Burning Man attendees) whose goal is to unlock the creativity of local communities to solve problems and bring about change. They have launched a screen-printing program in Haiti that will teach Haitian artists sustainable new skills (including the actual process of screen-printing, as well as how to find a job with these skills afterwards) and encourage self-reliance. They are currently looking for instructors who can teach design, screen printing and have experience in professional development. Airfare, room and board is provided as well as a $30 stipend. The deadline for residency applications is February 4, 2013. Click here to learn more and apply. (Thanks to Paper Pusher, who first shared this link on their Facebook yesterday.)

Call for Submissions: For the Girls

For the Girls is a website/e-zine devoted to erotica for women. (WARNING: Website is most decidedly NSFW!) They are currently looking for submissions of flash fiction (between 300 – 500 words) that are succinct, clever, erotic and aimed at a female audience. They are also looking for guest columnists to sound off in a new column called Bedhead Graffiti, where different writers can share “opinions, epistles, musings, rants and reasoned arguments” on the topic of sex and relationships. Newcomers and seasoned writers are both welcome. Both opportunities are paid. For more information on how to submit, go to this posting.
