Award!
Last night I had to miss the award ceremonies, but today I found out that I had won one of the show awards - a "Friends of the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art" award!
A lot less windier today and much better sales!

Friday at the beach
Yesterday was the first day of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Virginia Beach's 57th Annual Boardwalk Art Festival - it was super windy at the beach and the three judges all came by.
The first two were very nice, but not really interested in my work... the last juror really liked my work and selected it for the final round of awards. The judges were Marc Arranaga, an independent art dealer "who formerly worked for Pace Gallery in New York"; Nora Lawrence, associate curator of Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, N.Y.; and the super cool and very nice Suzy Wegmann, the administrative director of Richard Gray Gallery in Chicago. Can you tell which judge picked my work for an award?Yay Suzy!
A total of $21,900 in prize money was awarded by the judges.
Tonight there was a party for the artists and the prizes were awarded. Since I had to drive to Newport News to the train station to pick up Little Junes and Dr. Anderson, I missed the awards ceremony, so tomorrow I'll find out if I won a prize.
Oh yeah... this morning someone stole one of my drawings... later on I will post an image of the stolen work (once I get home); it has been reported to the very nice officer Gibbs of the VABPD.
Update: Below is an image of the stolen drawing...

Opportunity for Artists
Later this year I will be honored to jury RSVP 2012 for The New Wilmington Arts Association. They support the careers of artists by providing opportunities for uncensored experimentation, professional presentation, and critical dialogue and RSVP is their annual juried exhibition open to all artists and media.
You can download the prospectus here - hurry and do not leave it to the last minute!
Starting Today in Virginia Beach
In 1952, a small group of artists presented an outdoor art show at the Virginia Beach
boardwalk, with the proceeds benefiting a fellow artist who had fallen
ill. Those artists later formed an organization which is today the
Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). In 1956, the first official
Boardwalk Art Show was held. Top prize was $25 and 104 artists
participated. Today, Best in show wins $10,000 and the Boardwalk show is
ranked as on of the top 100 outdoor art shows in the country.
57th Annual Boardwalk Art Show presented by SunTrust.
Date: June 14-17, 2012
Location on Virginia Beach Boardwalk: 20th Street to 32nd Street
