I've been blogging this show since 2008 on my personal painting blog and decided 2011 is the year to have an additional blog dedicated to the art show and become a "dualing Piccolo blogger"! This second blog also gives me the opportunity to share insights and impressions from other art show "insiders"! Join me up front (and behind the scenes) as the 2011 show shapes up with fine art, occasional guest contributors, on the ground interviews and who knows what else creativity run rampant will surprise us with! Comments are open but moderated. Think before you write!

Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Show DAY 1 - Part II

Fine Art Jury Day
Tate Nation gets down and personal.
"Pick Me"

Since 105 artists were being juried today, we were each given a lime green sheet to place on one wall with the paintings we wanted juried.  Tate Nation decided to be bold and specific:


It didn't work - but hey, Tate wins the award for assertive art training.

The juror, Juan Logan of Chapel Hill, NC,  juried 105 artists today; the award ceremony was about 4:30 p.m. with Mayor Riley handing out awards, assisted by Ellen Dressler Moryl, Director of the Office of Cultural Affairs.
