"Artists Needed," a new nonprofit group is looking for a few volunteer artists for an upcoming New York City event. CancerCare (www.cancercare.org) is a local charity that strives to improve the lives of anyone affected by cancer through counseling, financial support, and the organization of fun events that hopefully will take people's minds off illness for a while. The event we need volunteers for is a drawing table for kids at CancerCare's Valentine's Day party. Kids will come by and sit with the artists and learn how to draw whatever they like; artists who can do animated characters would be great as the kids like to request drawings of Bugs Bunny, etc. but anyone who can draw is welcome. WHEN: February 14th from 4-6:30pm WHERE: 275 7th Avenue (b/w 25th and 26th streets), 22nd Floor CONTACT: Elizabeth Winter, email: winter.edits@hotmail.com This is a one time event for just a couple hours, but there will be more events in the future, so please indicate if you would like to be put on our mailing list.

British animator Joanna Quinn is obsessed with drawing. In an age where animation is dominated by slick computer-generated imagery, her films stand out because they are so evidently handdrawn: pencil and sparse colour on white paper, the constantly shifting lines expressing the huge vitality of her characters, whether it is the old crone and the knight in The WIFE OF BATH, the Toulouse-Lautrec-inspired off-duty prostitutes in ELLES or her signature character, Beryl, in any of the three films that feature her. Joanna Quinn’s acute observation combined with her sharp comedic sense produces films that have entranced audiences and won major awards all round the world.

This exhibition, created and organised by the National Media Museum, Bradford, presents a selection of her artwork and films from the last twenty-five years, examines the sources of her inspiration and follows the process that takes her from initial ideas to final, award-winning animated films. It will also look at the business of being an animator in today’s globalised arenas of animation and advertising.

Working closely with Joanna Quinn, who will act as design and artistic consultant, "Drawings that Move -- The Art of Joanna Quinn" is curated by Michael Harvey. His previous exhibitions include the internationally-touring Bond, "James Bond" (2002), "Myths and Visions: The Art of Ray Harryhausen" (2006) and "Live by the Lens. Die by the Lens: Film Stars and Photographers" (2008).

Content
The exhibition will largely consist of framed artwork (approximately 75 frames) with cased objects (awards, books, notebooks), video (x2 monitor-based, x1 projected OR monitorbased) and interpretive panels to introduce each section.

Gallery Two
"Drawings that Move -- The Art of Joanna Quinn" will be shown in Gallery Two at the National Media Museum. Objects will be presented across approximately 80 linear metres in a space measuring approximately 250 square metres.
