In the Works
Coming home from vacation can be a highlight or a let down. In the case of coming home today, it was a highlight. Our wooden beams welcomed us and the smell was familiar and warm.
We settled in and relaxed. After the kids were in bed at night I finally got around to checking my email. I was ecstatic at what I found there in my inbox: “Hello artists! You have registered, and are welcome to show at BIG Art Show Philadelphia #3″
On the off chance that I would get accepted, I filled out an email registration for the show that is going on in July. They finally sent a reply and I can’t believe I am going. When I checked out the website a few weeks ago, I was under the impression that they were filled with artists and that there wasn’t any room. But the registration form was still available so I figured “why not?” and filled the thing out and sent it into the oblivion of cyber space.
I’ve done a few craft shows in the past and I’ve found them to be really expensive to be a part of and very unexciting. I don’t have much work to show, and I am totally unsure if I am any good. But, hey, I need to put myself out there and find out. People will decide what they like. And maybe they will like me. I am really scared though. Putting myself out there is just not who I am really. Especially in a room filled with other self proclaimed artists. But It will be way cool…
