O'Sullivan on the Trawick Prize
"The Trawick Prize: Bethesda Contemporary Art Awards is a dirty show this year."Read the Washington Post's art critic Michael O'Sullivan's review of this year's Trawick Prize here.
Excellent review by O'Sullivan and I agree with him in the sense that Molly Springfield's work continues to amaze not only by its technical virtuosity, but also by the conceptual edge that she continues to give to it.
And a bravo to to the prize's sponsor: Carol Trawick!
Opportunity for Artists
Deadline: October 26, 2009
If you read this blog then you know that I've been always very impressed with the BlackRock Center for the Arts gallery's 1500 square feet of exquisite gallery space. With its high white walls and beautiful windows strategically placed, this gorgeous gallery allows in just the right amount of natural light. BlackRock Center for the Arts is located at 12901 Town Commons Drive Germantown, MD in upper Montgomery County, about 20 minutes from the Capital Beltway (495).
They currently have a call to artists and the call is open to all artists residing in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC over the age of 18.
Original artwork only. All work must be ready for sale and to be presented in a professional manner to the public at the time of delivery.
This call will cover exhibits in the gallery from September 2010 through August 2011. An exhibit may include one applicant or a combination of applicants, based on the judgment of jurors (i.e., 1 or 2 wall artists may be combined with a pedestal artist). A jury will select the artists and create eight exhibits to be included in the exhibit year. The jury panel is comprised of my good friend and gallerist Elyse Harrison, Jodi Walsh, and yours truly.
Jurying: First Week of December
Notification: Early January
Exhibit Year: Sept. 2010 – Aug. 2011
How to apply: All correspondence will be done by e-mail, so contact Kimberly Onley, the Gallery Coordinator at konley@blackrockcenter.org and ask her to email you a prospectus.
Don't wait to the last minute! Get the prospectus now!

We experienced an unusual time warp yesterday: For a second it was 09/09/09 09:09:09.
Bailey took a cell phone image on the 9th second of the 9th minute of the 9th hour of the 9th day of the 9th month of 2009 at Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia. This image is titled "Muslim Woman Shopping For The American Dream In Decline."
Did anybody else capture something special on 09/09/09 at exactly 09:09:09?
