It's with great excitement that I can share that some of my mosaic artwork has been chosen to be a part of the Mixed Media 2010 Art show in Slidell. Here's more information about this show:
The city of Slidell is inviting artists from 10 southeastern states to submit their works for the Slidell Cultural Center's upcoming Mixed Media juried exhibition.
This annual competition, now in its 18th year, always proves a unique exhibit. To qualify, artists must use two or more media to create their art. Last year's exhibit included works created with paints, pastels, clay, charcoal, paper, stainless steel, clock pieces, wood, bamboo, metals, fabrics and a wide assortment of other atypical media, such as horse hair and tree bark.
Dale Newkirk will serve as the juror for this year's exhibit. Professor Newkirk is the Director of the Southeastern Contemporary Art Gallery and the SIMS Gallery on the Southeastern Louisiana University Campus and teaches sculpture. His artwork as been exhibited throughout the United States and abroad.
Mixed Media will be displayed in the Slidell Cultural Center, located at 2055 Second Street, on the first floor of City Hall. The exhibit is set to open Jan. 15, with an opening reception and awards presentation from 7 to 9 p.m. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
