Hanging day for my solo
Today was a typical hanging day.
I was hanging for my solo at Artists & Makers Studio 2 in Rockville: I broke a large piece of glass in one of the main pieces, dropped another frame and glass didn't break! But the frame did! Then a third piece, which been pre-sold, fell off the wall... it actually looks more interesting now.
This is the amazing space below:

Art Scam Alert!
Washington Women's Art Center
Were you a member of the Washington Women's Art Center or know someone that was?
In the summer of 2018, the Alper Initiative will have two juried exhibits that will honor the Washington Women’s Arts Center, the feminist arts organization in the DC metropolitan area in the 1970s - 80s.
They are soliciting work from former members and exhibitors of the WWAC!
Because not all submissions will be selected by the juror for physical display at the museum, the museum plans to include a slide show identifying all former members. Therefore, all former members are encouraged to send a high resolution headshot and image of their work (300 DPI), as well as a short quote about what the WWAC meant to them for inclusion in the slideshow to aiwa@american.edu.
So, please begin gathering your materials and share this information!
Remember to join their WWAC Facebook page, Memories of the Washington Women’s Arts Center.

How Collectors Use Instagram to Buy Art
According to a recent survey of collectors on Instagram, an incredible 51.5% have purchased works from artists they originally discovered through Instagram. More importantly, this discovery led to an average of 5 purchased works by artists originally found on the app! Although respondents are all active on Instagram, and nearly half have collections of 100+ works, these are significant findings. Collector and social media expert Karen Robinovitz (@karenrobinovitz) commented, “Collecting art is an addiction and Instagram is the dealer and pusher that enables it.”
Is Facebook’s image sharing platform (valued at $35 billion) the next big sales channel for fine art?Read the fascinating article by Elena Soboleva here.
