1.) I was nominated for the state semi-finals for RAW's Artist of the Year award, the biggest indie art competition in the world. Artists were narrowed down from 100 other eligible participants based upon an online voting and a panel of RAW judges. I also must congratulate my other Hartford Art School Alumni for also making it to the state semi-finals. I would be thrilled if any one of us are voted to continue on to nationals. I am permitted to hang only 5 pieces and I am going to make sure that a majority of the work is new and better than before. I really think I have a shot at this, so I am going to put all my energy into this.
When: November 15th 7-12pm
Where: The Russian Lady, Hartford, CT
Cover: $15 if you purchase in advance, $20 at the door
How it works:
Everybody that attends gets one sticker per category. You are permitted one vote for each category (performing arts, visual arts, photography...) 50% of public live vote and 50% judges discretion is what will determine who wins in each category.
If I go on to Nationals, the award ceremony is in L.A. and all 50 states will have artists as representatives. So please, come, support and vote for me :)
and may the odds ever be in your favor.
ALSO, I am half way through my animation course I. Trying to step up my a game for that. I have two children's book contracts I am drafting up as well. Cheers to feeling like myself again and making art everyday!
