I received word from the curators and jurors earlier this week and my piece was not selected for the Threads of Resistance exhibition. Four Hundred artists from around the world responded to this call for entry with 550 artworks submitted for consideration. The ten curators and jurors of the exhibit have their work in the exhibit leaving just 49 pieces selected from the 550 entries. Now that’s stiff competition!
I am confident that the exhibit will be exceptional. I know seven of the artists who had their work selected and their work never disappoints. If you haven’t viewed all of the work submitted yet, I encourage you to do so. I shared information about an on-line viewing that is available and provided the link here. You can view the schedule for this traveling exhibit by clicking on the ‘schedule’ tab.
I will be keeping my eye open for other opportunities to share my work. My resistance to the Trump administration doesn’t stop here.
Check out ARC Gallery in Chicago.
Your piece has a powerful message and I think the coat hanger is the perfect touch. I bet there will be other opportunities to put your work in the right forum.
I hope so, Sara. Will be putting heads together at the next critique group meeting.
I’m quite sure that this piece of art will find its way to an exhibit and that this really isn’t the ‘final’ word. Good work, Franki.
Thanks Christy!
