Just a reminder, the MCAD Annual Art Sale opening/preview is tonight from 6pm to 9pm. $35 advance, $40 door. Valet parking available.

Tomorrow from 9am to 5pm it is free to the public, free art studio for kids.

I have 25 pieces, 20 paintings and 5 drawings in the sale. The best time to go is tonight if you are serious about buying artwork, as the best quality pieces are snatched up right away. There’s still some good work the next day but the strongest usually goes on Friday night. All artwork is priced under $1,000 with the majority under $100. So there are very affordable pieces.

If you haven’t been to the sale before, there are paintings, drawings, prints, furniture, sculpture, photography, jewelry, clothing (hats, scarves, tshirts), magnets, coasters, stuffed animals, dolls, etc. Something for everyone. All originals.

I have work priced from $40 to $850, with the majority in the $300 to $450 range. All artwork not sold, will be listed for sale in my etsy store next week.

Other News:

I’m going to be interviewed by 3 Minute Egg next week in my studio. Trish submitted my artwork (without asking) and the producer wants to interview me. So I’ll be on the blog soon. I’ll post more about that later.

Solo exhibition is still scheduled for March. Not sure on exact dates or opening night yet. Either first or second week depending on if the exhibition will run 4 or 6 weeks. Also, haven’t decided if it will be Fri or Sat night. We will be meeting next week to create the 2010 exhibition schedules at SSCA.

Today is the deadline for board nominations at SSCA. Voting closes December 6th. I was nominated for Vice Chair, Exhibition Committee Chair, and to be on the Marketing Committee.

I’ve applied for some exhibitions and competitions in NY and Chicago. Am waiting to hear back. If I get into the NY one, then I have a bit of a conflict – same weekend as my solo show opening, so I would either have to fly out one day/night or schedule my solo opening a different night/week. But that’s jumping ahead a bit too much…. We’ll see.

I’m currently working on a commission painting in the studio. I have 3 more commissions after this. Then, I will be working on new work for the upcoming solo show.
