I submitted three pieces to the 2022 Regional Art Show of the Artists Cooperative Gallery of Westerly (ACGOW). Just a day or two later I saw on their website that all three of my pieces were accepted into the show! Yay!
The following day I received a phone call asking if I would be at the opening reception for the show on Friday evening. I said that I had a busy day and was not certain I could attend. The person on the other end encouraged me to be there, "You will be very happy that you come."
OK, what does this mean? I knew that there would be prizes announced at the reception, but, well . . . maybe .. . did I win a prize? We decided to attend the reception and I let a few friends know that we would be going.
When I saw the amazing art displayed in the ACGOW galleries, I was certain that the phone call was just to get a good crowd, not for me in particular. It seemed to take forever to get to the program where prizes were announced, but finally . . . OMG! My name was called and I received The Katherine Forest Crafts Foundation Alice Clark Hubbard Award !! And a little blue ribbon! And a check!
The three pieces I have in the show are:
Cartographies of Perpetual Rejuvenation (CPR)
The Rubble and the Road
Material Meditation
You have seen two of the three in recent posts. Here is the third one, Material Meditation. And a photo of me with the award winning Cartographies of Perpetual Rejuvenation!! The show is on for the rest of the month of May.
