"Create work that you enjoy creating and explore your medium and subject until you find a formula that makes you happy and earns you money. There is no answer to your specific questions because everyone is different.

"Remove the tables and all but one unframed bin. Hang the work symmetrically and the top row should all be the same top height. Keep smaller pieces to the side walls.

Larry Berman replied to TC Crumpton's discussion My first booth!
"For jurying - try to keep pictures grouped by themes which could be subject or color. Remove one bin and remove the table. Back up so you don't cut any of your pieces off. Other than that it looks good.

Larry Berman replied to Carol Larsen's discussion How can you plan with such a short time line

ContinueI scored a "1" at the Krasl Jury
Posted on March 1, 2018 at 7:00pm 89 Comments 10 Likes
Quite a few artists posted about their Krasl jury scores on some of the Facebook art show forums. I even received two phone calls from artists asking me to check to see if something was wrong with their images.
So many artists posted about receiving one or even two of the lowest possible score of a "1" out of "7" that it makes me wonder if the people doing the jurying knows what that means, or what instructions were given by the director.
Years ago I was interviewing a show…

Happy Holidays everyone
Doesn't every girl want a pink convertible? Originally we were going to do a holiday picture with a sleigh large enough for the pups to sit in. That concept will now be put on hold until next year. We came across a pink mini cooper convertible and that became the new holiday picture. The car is 24x36 inches by about 20 inches tall. Xena is dominant in the picture with Elvis taking the back seat.…
