    i'm up for both painting and riding!

  • are any sorts of art/photography welcome?

  • anything goes, submit as you wish!

  • Bump, from Paper girl Manchester :

    The call for submissions for Papergirl Manchester is now open. On Sunday we gave our 584 roles with 5-7 pieces of work in each roll, to people on the street in Berlin. See some pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/moritzpiehler/sets/72157624418360219/

    We now need to do it again in Manchester. The final deadline is 1st September but please send in your submissions asap so I can secure the exhibition space. Find out more here: http://papergirlmanchester.tumblr.com/

  • WHat a great idea, this sounds really cool. I'll definitely submits some photography and may be able to ride too... will be in touch!

  • great, cheers

  • oh, wow, this sounds awesome. When's it coming to London, or how can we get a "delivery"? I'll send some photography up. Can I send up an ad type flier for submissions to my zine? It's an art zine (so seems slightly relevant) that so far has featured musician interviews/reviews, poetry, short stories, and photography but will be trying to expand medium shortly as I am trying to get some illustrators involved. anyway, this ended up being a lot longer than intended. cheers!

  • advertising is not accepted as submissions but you can send some zines to be included in the roles. There's no plans for Papergirl to take place in London yet unfortunately.....you'll have to come up to mcr for a delivery!

  • bump.....not long left for submissions, delivery dates tbc soon if you want to ride and help deliver http://papergirlmanchester.tumblr.com/post/922098320/be-part-of-papergirl-manchester-and-have-your-work

  • how is the work being duplicated? or if I send a print up does only one get handed out?

We will be joining up with I Bike MCR for a special Papergirl and Monster Critical Mass with freak bikes, fancy dress, and free art.

    We will meet at Manchester Central Library at 6pm! If you want to come.

    1. Bring your own bike.
    2. Bring a bag or basket which can hold rolls of art – a tote bag or messenger bag would be suitable. And a camera if you can.
