The Brookside Art Fair is this weekend. As many of you know, I was asked to help Jury Submissions in Jan–a grinding, 12-hour process. Now I’ve been asked to help determine awards. Great. After that’s done, I’ll be hail-fellow-well-met to 5 artists, and a scoundrel to the remaining 170.
Well, everyone’s welcome to drop by the gallery either way. We’re half a block from the tents. No telling how long the wine will last.
haha–i like your description of this process. as artists we tend to forget the tough work it really is to be a good juror. good luck.
Paul- it was great seeing you and the new location today. The gallery looks fabulous, and I saw some great new pieces and a few artists I hadn’t heard of. Congratulations on the new space!
Had a nice time walking through the art fair with my friend, too. You (et al?) made some nice choices on the awards.
Cheers~
Hi:
I’m glad you were asked to partipate. I really had a good time on Saturday viewing, and I’m glad I went that day. One artist I actually wanted to talk to (but he was busy with another person, and the fair was closing for the night) was the one who looked like he did pastels with his own frames – the artwork reminded my sort of old style religious type icons. They were really interesting and seemed more personal than some other types of artwork, at least that was my impression. I would have gone back today, except it was so stormy. I really enjoy seeing the variety of local and non-local artists. It was a good show.
Lacey: Good seeing you as well, as always.
Paula: It was indeed a great show. Sat night was my favorite part. My least favorite part? The storm on Sun.
