In my field of illustration there are juried competitions and many of the same issues come up as the issues discussed on the Winkleman site -- why "pay-to-play," who judges and why, is acceptance actually valuable to one's career, etc. I've never entered an illustration competition and don't really like them at a gut level, so it's interesting that I've not had qualms about entering juried art shows...Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-88320927566393924882007-07-15T21:29:00.000-04:002007-07-15T21:29:00.000-04:00Annie, congratulations on your exhibition and awar...Annie, congratulations on your exhibition and award. The praise and acknowledgment are well deserved- enjoy it! Regarding your comment about juried exhibitions, you may find the following worthwhile:<BR/>http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/06/jurys-still-out-on-open-submission.html<BR/>The initial post *and* the subsequent discussion in the comments are thought provoking and insightful. <BR/>Again, cheers to you and continued success!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035509464700280693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-657613174686861182007-07-15T20:57:00.000-04:002007-07-15T20:57:00.000-04:00Hi Patti,Thanks so much for your supportive words ...Hi Patti,<BR/>Thanks so much for your supportive words and for sharing your experience. Your perspective is interesting to hear. I'm new to the whole juried show thing, so I've been wondering about what the real criteria are for judging and whether or not it's to my advantage to look for print-only shows as opposed to broader art shows. Being rejected won't keep me from making prints since I'm a woman obsessed, but entering shows does seem to be part of the "game" and I'm curious about how it works.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-28598260069319401372007-07-15T12:00:00.000-04:002007-07-15T12:00:00.000-04:00Annie, your ideas are fresh and brilliant. Your w...Annie, your ideas are fresh and brilliant. Your work is well executed with attention to craftsmanship. As a printmaker your skills and talent are enviable. Please ignore those rejection slips. I have found that 90 percent of jurors who don't make prints have absolutely no understanding of the print and are completely unqualified to judge prints! After 10 years of putting myself in the position to be rejected by a local show with less than half the time being accepted...the one time a painter who also does prints juried the show I won an award--and the two years since similar works were rejected--so don't take it too hard if you get rejected. Quite frankly I can see in just the past year of admiring you low resolution web images that your work is superb and I can only imagine how wonderful they will be in person (and can't wait to have your iraq print in my hands!)if a juror rejects your work it's only because they are PRINT IGNORANT!!!
