News & Events: Way of The Word!

The Fall 2009 issue is currently in production, thanks to everyone who submitted artwork and writing. Be sure to stay in touch for updates and events! Take some time from school work to check out this reading, featuring past Ubiquitous staff and contributors:

Republic Worldwide Presents WAY OF THE WORD

There is a misconception that poetry, as a conceptual art form, speaks only to a select audience. In truth poetry has kept up a great pace with popular culture and has continually been reinterpreted through each successive generation broadening its breadth and definition. It is in the spirit of language arts that REPUBLIC presents the first installment of its recurring “Way of the Word” program at Bar On A.

“Way of the Word” opens Wednesday, November 11, 2009 to a unique evening of art, poetry, performance and music by emerging artists in the New York poetry world. Artists and poets include: Artists: Edward Hopely, Brian VanRemmen and more, slam poets: Khephran ­­­­Riddick and Aldrin Valdez and traditional poets: Davey Vacek, Katie Przybylski, Marissa Forbes, Peter Ford, and three founding members of a Brooklyn based poetry group called The Corresponding Society—Lonely Christopher, Robert Snyderman, and Jason Tallon.

Doors open at 7pm with a visual and interactive gallery hour for the artists, poets, and guests before the poetry readings begin at 8pm. Drink specials are provided by Bar On A from 7 to 9pm. Bar On A is located at 170 Avenue A, between 10th and 11th Streets.

A short event anthology, featuring poets from the show and around the nation will be available for purchase online and at the door for $15. Portions of the proceeds will be donated to *Reading Excellence and Discovery* (READ.), a foundation that promotes literacy by pairing qualified high school tutors with elementary students who demonstrate below grade level reading skills.

For more information about “*Way of the Word*,” READ or REPUBLIC please contact republicbrooklyn@gmail.com or call (443) 528-6761 or (917) 273-2712

Announcement: Site Fixes

I'd like to make a quick note to users that this site is now accessible for comments by everyone- meaning even if you do not have a gmail account or are a member of Blogger, you can leave comments on the posts. This is to encourage Pratt students and others to interact with each others work and leave construction criticism.

Another quick fix, posts will now be marked with labels for all your easy searching needs. :-) Here are the labels that you will find posts marked under:

Announcement: Call for Submissions/Blog Theme #1

The deadline for submissions for the Ubiquitous Magazine is on February 24th. Please be sure to submit your work before that date.

From this point onward, the blog will also be accepting submissions as a separate zone from the magazine.

The blog will run its own events and submission deadlines all year round, and will be a different entity for people to interact with. The blog will start being more active by introducing Theme Writing. Occasionally, the blog will post a theme, and the goal is for artists and writers to produce work from that theme. Of course, non-theme-related submissions are just as welcome.

Here is theme #1: The Body

Relay all submissions for the blog at ubiquitous.submissions@gmail.com and specify that your entry is for the blog. The deadline for these submissions is on February 28th. Have fun and feel free to interpret the theme in any way you like.

What can you do to keep this blog active? Have any recommendations- art, poetry, literature that you've found really interesting? Know of any events that people might want to hear about? Have any submissions? Send 'em all at the Ubiquitous email!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back, everyone!

<sub>I hope that everyone had an enjoyable summer. Ubiquitous is now accepting submissions for this semester so feel free to start sending your pieces to our email. We look forward to seeing everyone's work.

This blog is still open for links and other websites that anyone is willing to recommend. We appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.</sub>
