greenbrush2.jpgFor those of you who have been waiting for a great excuse to dust off your unfinished canvases or perhaps were extraordinarily responsive to my post three days ago about reading The War of Art to help reconnect you with your creative soul and have already produced a new masterpiece, you may be interested to know that the Arkansas Valley Art Center will be accepting registrations for this year’s Open Awards Show through Monday, August 11.

AVAC member, Natalie M., writes,

“This is one of the finest and most extensive shows exhibiting local artwork, both professional and amateur. This is a great opportunity to share your work with your peers, the community and to be reviewed by a visiting judge.”

From the AVAC website:

“Judging for the show will be done by Thaddeus Smith, the Art Director for the Gunnison Art Center. Thaddeus Smith is originally from West Virginia and received his Bachelors in Fine Arts in Sculpture and Printmaking at West Virginia University and his Masters in Fine Arts, with an emphasis in Sculpture, at The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.”

Entrants are limited to members of the AVAC organization, but it is never too late to join! This year’s Open Awards Show will be held from August 22 through September 21. The opening reception will be from 5 to 7 pm on the evening of the 22nd. The AVAC gallery is located at Colorado Mountain College, County Road 319, Buena Vista.
