New Exhibit Opportunity - Now or never!!

Hi, all members. The Maryland Federation of Art in Annapolis - gallery is at 18 State Circle - is inviting our Club to submit photos to their "Chesapeake Watershed" exhibit. They want photos you may already have taken of anywhere in the Watershed from New York to Virginia, at any time.

This is an MFA Open Show, so artists of all kinds are invited regardless of being a member. I was reminded by the show organizer that entries are due next Tuesday Apr 2, and cannot be by email - must be on a CD, USPS mailed with postmark on/before Apr 2 or hand-carried. However, that date could be waived if there is a need for it and if the gallery is notified that an entry is coming (410-268-4566). The info about this is here: http://mdfedart.org/chesapeake_watershed09web.pdf

The juror, Richard Olsenius, has top-rated credentials, owns his own gallery in Eastport, and is a photographer (Nat'l Geog, books, etc.) and composer with several DVDs out.

I've been a member at MFA for several years - have had a one-man show and several individual photos selected for their exhibits. It's a great place to visit, view, and show. There is prestige in getting your photos hung there and possibly selling your photos, as well as winning some of the $1500 in prize awards.

And you don't have to join to enter!! - although it would be to your advantage to participate now and in the future. See the brochure for details and read it carefully.

This notice was coordinated with our Exhibits Director, but it's an individual opportunity, not a Club event. Give it a try and get into the arts community!
