The Easton show is called "Celebrate the Arts" and is being jointly sponsored by the St Michaels Art League and the Talbot County Arts Council (TCAC). This show is celebrating 50 years of the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) and 40 years of TCAC. Our local council gets its funding from the state and in the past 40 years has received millions of dollars for local art programs.
Oh yeah, I forgot to say, I am on the committee...and have been working for several months to get artists registered for the show. We invited anyone who lives, works, shows or sells art in Talbot County to participate.
We had a cut off number of 70 artists and, by the registration deadline, we had a wait list of 9! For the past several days one of our committee members has been trying to secure extra hangers and hooks so we can display everyone's art. Fingers crossed that we really will be able to hang all the artwork.
Next Monday is October 1st. We will be welcoming the 79 registered artists at the library and begin to hang the show that day. On Friday, the 5th we are having a reception for the entire community to celebrate with us. The show will hang for the month of October.
The range of artistic talent and wealth of imagination in our area is amazing. We anticipate an incredible show!
Oh, forgot to say, I am entering my latest ropes painting. "Knots on the Dock." Come see it in person!
