As a juried artist member of Silvermine Arts Center, one might think that I am a tad partial to this exhibition. And you would be right. That's because the quality of work in this exhibit is always amazing as are the artists who create it. Being as it's nearby, I get to visit and peruse the art...several times usually.

ReplyDeleteI love to attend every art contests or fests. Especially my most memorable moments are when I visited Australia and I see beautiful Aboriginal Art work in an art exhibition. The hall was crowded, and I liked every art there.
