Hey All,
Last fall I submitted some pictures of some past turnings to a committee member of the David Strawn Art Gallery board for review for a possible showing at some time in the future. Well last night, I got a call from the director of the Gallery and I have been selected for a showing this fall. I was shocked and some words came to mind from Wayne's World, like, "I'm not worthy," "I'm not worthy." Well, apparently the board thought I was. There will be a Gala night for the showing, and there will be two Artisans showing for the month, me and paintings by an artist. When I asked about how many pieces I could show she said as many as you want as the show room is expansive. My pieces will be on pedestals and glass cases and the other person will have the wall space. Now the uncertainty of what to show comes to play. I am even being paid to show, which was a shock, as well. I will be on display for a month and all items will be for sale without commission. I do have some extra time to decide, so I might try a few new things that I haven't done before. I am so incredibly excited to be chosen, so I thought I would share the good new with my friends. Here is a link to the Gallery, but there is not much to see as the Gallery doesn't open for the season until April. http://www.strawnartgallery.org/ Here is a picture of the outside of the Gallery which was built in 1880. It is a beautiful building and has some permanent displays that are wonderful. http://www.flickr.com/photos/army_arch/566389475/
