2008 Materials Hard & Soft - Markings #3
Markings #3 ©2006 74"x66"
I’ve entered the annual juried show Materials Hard & Soft at the center for visual arts in Denton Texas 4 times. A few years back when I got my 3rd rejection I decided that three strikes was time to call it quits figuring my work didn’t fit their vision.
Until a few months back, when I decided to enter some juried shows to jump start my art business. I entered this show again expecting a similar result but this year’s juror, Georgia Gough, reversed the trend. Apparently 4th time for this show. Markings #3, above, will be included in the 21st annual national contemporary craft competition and exhibition.
The show opens January 26, 2008 and will run through March 20.
I’m happy to finally have made it into this show. Although I suspect this will be the last time I enter this show, and most juried shows. Even so, it is always a nice boost to receive the acceptance letters from these shows: "Oh yay! Somone liked my work". And that is why I entered this year. So thank you Ms. Gough for the acceptance.
My work laptop is calling from across the room saying "if you don’t get busy now you will be up until midnight again". Sigh. So much for no more overtime. Tonight I have to recreate most of the requirements that were lost when the server crashed - a painful exercise at best. I definitely need this acceptance letter today - perfect timing.
