Dear all,
Today is the BMFA Juried Art Show reception and I have a painting in the show *Yippee*. I raced back from school, jumped in the shower, put on my posh-togs and belted it downtown in Collingwood to the show.
I actually arrived just as the award ceremony was starting: there was tons of people crammed into the gallery and I was pretty excited. I could see my painting but also that I hadn't won a prize, but actually just being selected to be part of the show was cause for celebration in itself!
After the ceremony, I managed to wheedle my way throughout the expansive gallery. The quality of the work was very high - there was also a section for High School Students and the lovely Mackensie won 2nd Prize in her category!!! ( She is amazing and also in my Tuesday night class at The Bay School Of Art http://goughdesign.ca/thebayschoolofart/ )
My work was on the main wall of gallery as you come in - I was pretty excited to see it. Next year I will most definitely aim for an 'honourable mention'!
