Hello from Brooklyn, NY!!! where I am still buzzing from the wonderful opening reception of Cutting Edge at the Textile Art Center. Here are a few photos that a friend sent me from the opening ~ I will have more from my camera once I am back home. But it was a rocking event!!! Beautiful art, 
tasty beer, yummy food, great music and a wonderful crowd!!! the place was packed ~ and my creatures were right in the middle of it all!!!!Yesterday was a great day ~ besides the awesome opening and spending the entire day wondering the streets of Manhattan, prowling galleries and yarn shops, I also received the news that my shadow boxes were accepted into the 11th annual Frances N. Roddy Open Competition at the Concord Art Association, Concord, MA. This is really exciting news because I have been trying to get into this show for years and almost didn't submit any work this year because I was tired of the Roddy rejection. But my friend David Lang convinced me to do - 'always good to put the work out there' and voila!!! David's wonderful piece Sound Bytes also got accepted!! All very exciting. And last night I realized that at this moment i have work in 5 shows!! ~ ETA8, Portsmouth, NH; the Roddy, Concord, MA; In-Between, Worester, MA; the Portrait Show, Lynn, MA and Cutting Edge, Brooklyn, NY ~ and for this I am truly grateful!!!
The Roddy show runs from today, September 18-October 17 and the Opening Reception is this Sunday, September 19, 2-4pm. Sadly I wil not be there as I will be en route home from New York!! But if you are in the neighborhood do stop by, Concord always puts on a beautiful show!!
Happy weekend & peace!!!!
5 shows -- wow!! Glad to hear NY was great, no surprise! Go art! Go artist!
