The Little Black Book Project Reception and Silent Auction is set for Thursday, March 21 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Crush Area of Riddell Centre.
This is the final chapter for the project so a big thank you goes out to all those who have participated over the last three years, to the Faculty of Fine Arts and to Jan Bell, Faculty Administrator for their unwavering support of the project!
Most of the re-invented books are available for bids and this year we're keeping things interesting by adding a 'buy it now' option.
Please join us for a fun-filled afternoon of literary abandon!

Are You Ready??
It's getting very, very close! There are two short weeks left to finish those black books. If you haven't started, don't worry, you got this. And in the spirit of confession I haven't started either. But I plan to work on my book all weekend and I'm pretty sure I can pull it off in plenty of time.
We have our first two submissions and both are amazing interpretations of what began as a blank book. Be sure to mark March 21st in your calendars. Our reception and show will be held in the Riddell Centre crush area right outside the University Theatre. Remember there's a tablet on the line so get those books done and get in on it!

Momentum
It's that time. We're in the middle of the Little Black Book Project and if you haven't started your book yet (like me) you may be thinking you'll never get it done in time. Not to worry. Remember, part of the beauty of this project is that there are no boundaries. Don't have time to fill out all the pages? Rip them out or just do the cover and present it as a journal. It doesn't have to look like a book when it's finished. So run over it with your car or tear it to pieces and present it in a jar. There are all kinds of ways to do a book quickly and still make a great presentation.
The books are due back in the Art Store on February 28th and remember everyone who returns a book will be entered to win a tablet! Questions? Come and see me! Good luck and happy alteration!

Holy Moly!!!
In Little Black Book News, this just in.... In only a few short hours 50 petite obsidian tomes were snapped up by eager alteration enthusiasts leaving a paltry 100 copies remaining. If you want in on this bona fide hit get into the Art Store this week and register!
In related news here's a shout out to the Carillon, our U of R campus newspaper. Thanks for a great article and also for pointing out that Angel McDowell is 95 percent more hip than you on any given day.
Remember you only have until November 30 to register. Completed books are to be returned to the Art Store by February 28th. Look for a kick ass show in March!

Here We Go Again!
It's that time of year again. The leaves have fallen and we're all wondering how we are going to get through the next few months of housebound cold. Well I have a suggestion. The Little Black Book Project is up and running for its 3rd year!!! Join in once again for literary abandon, alteration and general book mayhem.
The rules are the same:
Get your blank book at the Art Store, University of Regina, Rm RC022.
In the back of the book you will find a secret theme.
Re-invent your book based on the theme. Anything goes. It does NOT have to look like a book at the end of the project.
You have until February 28th to complete your book and return it to the Art Store.
Closing reception will be sometime in March.
Everyone who completes a book will be entered to win a shiny NEW TABLET!
Enter in teams. Enter alone. Just enter! Cost is a mere $10.00.
** if you completed a book last year get a jump on this year's project. Pick up your book beginning Oct. 23rd.
