ArtPrize
is over ... sigh! "Imelda's Dream II" got a lot of attention and votes
from among the 500,000 people who visited Grand Rapids, Michigan during
those 19 days. I feel honored to have been one of 1,582 artist
participants in this grand scale art event that covered over 3 square
miles of the downtown, plus the botanical garden of that city, Miejer's Gardens.
Janice of Good Goods Gallery in Saugatuck
hung my entry. I'm grateful that gallery is so generous to me. I was
there to hand up tools and help to determine it's levelness by eye. It's
surprising how much actual levelness according to a leveling tool can
differ from the visual one. It's all relative to the art pieces
relationship to the architecture of the building.
Between her expertise and the lighting guy who works for the DeVos Place Convention Center, it was beautifully lit.
That walkway was filled with people on the days that I spent with my piece to talk with those who were interested.
Congratulations, Nellie. It's a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteHope ArtPrize continues on for many years to come.
Well done. Every time I see this particular quilt, I smile. It is exquisite.
