How rare it is these days to have an out of the blue surprise arrive in the physical mailbox. My studio mail address is not known by many, and I really do only check it weekly, so to find an important document among the blue valpak envelopes and gallery postcards was such a thrill. I have been selected to show my work at the Art’s Alive Invitational Exhibit in La Conner–this is not something to apply to, but to be chosen for by a committee of community/festival art organizers. I’m tickled pink to be included.
La Conner is an art town. It is home to the Museum of Northwest Art where I’ve got a piece as part of their annual auction next weekend and many galleries and artists. It’s a art destination that I’ve frequented many times over the years. Fun to be a part of it for both the auction and the Art’s Alive 2012 event. Now it’s time to think about the work I’ll be exhibiting.
