I just wanted to touch base with you SL7 stalwarts and remind you that the Springville Salon entry dates are rapidly approaching. You can download the entry form here. Entries will be received from April 7-11, 2009. Your next assignment for our meeting on the second Tuesday of March (the 10th) will be to have a good selection of what you are thinking of entering in the Salon. I'd like to see SL7 dominate the photography entries.
Meanwhile, I have been thinking about the importance of being able to talk about your art. There is a fine line between allowing your work to speak for itself, and being able to speak about art and what it means to you. It is worthwhile to explore ideas and concepts and to discover relationships within your art and between your art and the work that has and is being done in the world. Can you express your philosophy of art? Cultivating this ability to talk about your work may even improve your ability to think about and create the work you do. At the very least, you will become more informed and knowledgeable about your craft and about how you fit into the world of art, which will only help you as you talk to clients, gallery owners and collectors.
What do you think? Please let us know.
