BE ON TIME WITH COMPETITIONS

07/01/2008 10:53:10 / don't know

This blog is for those artists that enter art competitions.  Make sure you check on the  date of the exhibit and when your work needs to be there!!   I've been painting for twenty-five years and been in dozens of competitions, but I still every once in awhile screw up!  For example, RIGHT NOW!!!!!  I was accepted inthe International Competition of Gallery Creation at the Castle Des Reaux in France. Being accepted, I am going to be in a permanent exhibition at the castle entitled," Woman's and Men's Legs in the Art of the Beginning of the Third Millennium".  I double checked the info on the exhibit on Sunday, (29th) and it said that the work had to be there the 30th of this month. DANG!!!!!  I thought I had til the end of July- I was wrong! So, I e-mailed the director of the exhibit in France and told her that I was happy to be in the exhibit, it just won't be there the 30th.  She e-mailed me back and said the deadline for sending the work has been extended til Oct. 1st (waiting on works from the U.K. and China)  Whewwwwww.... I got lucky there, but the are alot of shows and competitions that are go to the letter, when they say its suppose to be there, it better be there.  Always double check the times, if you want to be in the show!!  Has anyone out there had a close call like that or missed an opportunity because of alittle carelessness or forgot something?  Or am I the only one with this problem?

Hi James:

Well I wasn't late but I did a faux pas nontheless. I am currently doing a showing in a small town called Knowlton in the provinvce of Quebec. I had approx. 20 pieces on display and on the third day of the expo I realized I had misnamed a watercolor of the Coronado Hotel in S.D. I had called it Hotel Del Mar! Talk about feeling like a jackass! I agree with you James. 

Double check everything!  Glad you were ok due to other's tardiness! Lol.Think I got the hotel Del Mar from a Travis Mcgee novel. Rick
