Q&A

Last week ArtPrize sent an email to all artists asking the following questions:
  1. Did your parents encourage you to become an artist?

  2. When did you start working in the way/medium/series you're working in now?

  3. How did you decide to select the specific work you did for ArtPrize?

  4. What is the greatest pleasure of being an artist? (What is your personal driving force?)

I have no idea the intent behind these questions (looking for good marketing matierals perhaps?), but find it interesting that of all the questions they could have sent, these were the four they chose.

It's Official

I'm thrilled to announce that my work will be shown at Schuler Books & Music downtown for ArtPrize. (If you want to follow me on the ArtPrize journey, become a fan of Pine Photography on Facebook.)

ArtPrize

It's the final week for artists to secure venues for ArtPrize. I'm so excited to have three hosting offers and am hoping to have an agreement signed by the end of the day Monday. Honestly, a couple of weeks ago I was getting worried that I wouldn't find a venue, so three offers is amazing!

It's fantastic that the management companies of several large developments are offering up tons of space so that as many registered artists as possible will be able to participate. After all, isn't that what ArtPrize is supposed to be all about?

I'll announce my venue as soon as it's official. If you want to follow me on the ArtPrize journey, become a fan of Pine Photography on Facebook.

Here's a sneak peak at the pair of photos I'll be exhibiting:
