News from Sean Chappell:

We'd like to announce the launch of House of Scratch online juried exhibition gallery website. Not satisfied to sit in the corner and let others dictate our fate for us, we created House of Scratch to bring together and promote unknown and under-appreciated artwork within the fields of Surrealist and Visionary Art.

House of Scratch offers the opportunity for previously unknown artists to be juried into an online show of surrealist art every month. We're looking for the best of the best and visitors to the website will be able to help us by voting for their favourite artist within each exhibition. One artist per show, the one with the most votes will be deemed the 'Best of the Best' in that show.

Once we have a roster of artists from consecutive monthly shows under the 'Best of the Best' banner, we will be mounting our first ever House of Scratch physical gallery show here in Toronto, Canada, showcasing those very artists. It's really going to be something to see!

For this project to achieve its full potential, interaction with the public at street level is paramount. It is our goal to continually develop House of Scratch, promoting annual and eventually bi-annual shows of some of the most unique and undiscovered art ever created. We hope you will be there with us!

Our very first Call for Artists is about to go online. House of Scratch will be looking for Surrealist and Visionary artwork to fill its Inaugural December show. Applications are being accepted from November 1st (12:00am) to November 30th (11:59pm).

Please visit House of Scratch for more details.

Thank You for your time,

Sean Chappell & Cathrene Gehue
