Entries sought for mid-century modern juried art show
FORT WALTON BEACH – The Arts & Design Society is calling for entries reflecting the spirit of mid-century modern era.
The architectural, interior and product design movement is primarily associated with the postwar decades and it peeked in the years between 1940 and 1970. Simplicity and clean lines, bold primary colors, laminates, plastics, glass and metal are some of the trademarks of the era.
Well-known designers of the mid-century modern era include Charles and Ray Eames, Alvar Aalto, Harry Bertoia, Craig Ellwood, Arne Jacobsen, George Nelson, Isamu Noguchi, Eva Zeisel, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Hans Knoll.
All work must be original and must have been created since 2005. All mediums are accepted. Work that has been exhibited in the ADSO Gallery or won an award in a previous ADSO exhibition or show is ineligible.
Drop off will be May 3, 2 - 4 p.m., or May 5, 10 a.m. noon. No late entries will be accepted.
The show will appear in the ADSO Gallery May 8 - 31. The entry fee is $25 for up to three pieces for members and $35 for non-members.

Jomama, thanks for reading.The 4 tenets are willingly agreed upon by the founders of the company, and are not forced upon them by the government. Is that where the misunderstanding is?I agree that any form of government coercion is negative; however, we do not live in a free society, as the only reason there are Americans with large fortunes is that there is a police force there to protect them.So, we do not have the option of throwing out laws just because the force actions upon the citizenry. As the article points out, capitalism itself is not a natural state of affairs, but an awkward system of exploitation written into law and institutionalized.About “it never works”. I hope to prove that wrong by starting a company with some friends in exactly the ways I mention in the article.

Let’s all get together and invest our labour in building a mill to make flour for our grain. Once constructed, it is useful for many years, saving us labour and producing value - far, far above our original investment. Running it takes much less labour than milling our flour by hand. Out wisdom, skill and forsight amplify the effect of our future labour.How is this not a kind of passive income?

I’ve become very interested lately in living sustainably and free. I’d love to discuss Bakunin and other great thinkers on the side of labor.

… And that’s really at the heart of these debates. Why should we organize our society so that we have to rent our homes (whether you’re renting an apartment or paying rent on a mortgage), our work tools (giving parts of the proceeds to shareholders) and our cars…?If wealth wasn’t so unevenly divided, then there would be less need for eg. taking in capital when starting a business.

How original.Straight out of the Communist Manifesto.

How many successful companies have you founded?My bet is “zero.”And you want to tell everybody how it should be done?Amazing.

Who is Bakunin?How about instead of dropping a name, you actually put here one idea you’d like to discuss? Type it up in your own words, in a comment.
Just one idea. And then someone like me can discuss it immediately.Just a suggestion.

What is “moral” about bringing the gun to the room?Besides, it never works.(see Tenets 1 & 4)
