In one of the first forays into entering my work in open shows I was happy to be accepted into the “Art Now: Drawing” exhibit at the Ann Arbor Art Center. With 420 pieces entered from a nationwide talent pool of fine artists, 49 were selected.
The Call for Entries read:
“While some artists are heavily based in traditional modalities of drawing, using drawing in preparatory ways, other artists will test the limits of what defines a “drawing” and push beyond the conventional boundaries, allowing for hybrid processes to be employed and combined. The use of such advances includes, digital imaging, sculpture, performance, video, installation, painting and printmaking.
This exhibition will highlight artists that employ traditional drawing processes, as well as artists who move across disciplines, using “drawing” as their foundation, with an emphasis on investigative and exploratory ways of drawing.”
I must admit I fall into the “traditional modalities” of drawing category but I’m honored to be part of this exhibition. My entry is “Awaiting Practice in the Park”. I encourage anybody in southeastern Michigan to check out the show between February 16 – March 17, 2018.
Congratulations, Dave! Looking forward to your show!
Thank you Eric.
