PostSubject: Art Prize revisited   Art Prize revisited EmptyTue Feb 14, 2012 2:53 pm

Last year around this time I entered a local art competition whose main objective was to raise money for the American Cancer Society. It was a wonderful experience, and I have lovely memories of it! Well, they're making it an annual event, so I'm going to enter again, and I'm so excited! I honestly don't care if I don't win (I didn't win it last year), it's just a fun experience, and is an opportunity to be a part of raising money for a very good cause. Art Prize revisited 25973 SO. . . this year I'm going to enter a piece that is very close to my heart. The Vigil:

Art Prize revisited 20bb_c11

And I JUST found a frame to put her in!:

Art Prize revisited Framed10

Thursday is when they want me to have the piece there. (Please pray that the event will be a big success for the ACS! It's such a worthy cause!)

Great news! I love this drawing. It's especially heart-touching when you know the story behind it. Art Prize revisited 18022

Lovely frame!

Thank you all! I'm really looking forward to this. Last year the competition raised nearly $1,000 for the ACS, and I'd love to see it do even better this year!

So excited that you've decided to enter again! And I love what you chose too! Such a beautiful drawing, and I know how much it means to you. The frame is exquisite!! It really compliments the piece well.

Is this in Grand Rapids again, same place? Maybe I can go this year! Art Prize revisited 39447

It looks awesome. I love to see them framed! Make sure you put a short version of its story beside the drawing. It just adds so much more to it. Again, its one of my favorites! GOOD LUCK! Wish I could go with you just to YELL when you win!

Art Prize revisited 410460 Thank you, Amy! This is actually the Green Acres Art Prize that you visited last year. Art Prize revisited 185146 I almost missed out on it this year!

Gin, I meant to tell you - the contest does allow for descriptive cards to be placed with the piece, so I've been working on one. Thank you for the suggestion. Art Prize revisited 811339

Oh, what a GREAT idea! As Rob was saying too, knowing the story behind it really lends itself even more to the inner beauty of the drawing. Art Prize revisited 185146

The drawing is just beautiful, and you found the perfect frame. I have no doubt you will do well. What a wonderful cause. Near and dear to my heart.

Art Prize revisited 410460 Thanks again for all of the encouragement, everyone! The contest ended yesterday, and I didn't win - BUT I was told that a large amount of money was raised for the American Cancer Society, and that's what counts.

I have to admit that I was disappointed in the piece that won. I think you'll understand when I show it to you. There were several pieces there that I admired and would have cheered for had they won . . . but this one. . . This one has me puzzled even yet.

Well, you already know how I feel about this, Savannah. Once again, weirdness trumps talent. If I was the person who created this "work," I would title it You're Kidding.

Le Artiste: "See my sculpture? This won Art Prize."
Art Lover: "You're kidding."
Le Artiste: "Yeah, that's the one."

Art Prize revisited 25973 Thank you, Rhonda! I don't know if the pink had any connection with it winning or not - there were other pink things there. (Things that really were artistic.) So, I don't think the color is the reason it won. Though, I could be wrong. I'm just kind of clueless about how it won. Art Prize revisited 135245

Art Prize revisited 410460
Thank you, Rob! I appreciate that. If someone had taken a picture of me when the woman showed me the winning piece, I'm sure I would have had a "You're kidding!" look on my face. Art Prize revisited 702150
