Last Friday was the gallery reception of the 4th Annual National 2D Competition Art Exhibition at the Armstrong Fine Arts Gallery in Savannah, GA. The reception took place on Armstrong State University's campus in their gallery. It was a wonderful little venue, and everyone was very welcoming. Upon entering the building I met Tom Cato, Department Head of Art, Music, and Theater, and Mario Incorvaia, Arts Marketing Director. They in turn introduced me to Pang-Chieh Hsu, Gallery Director. Mr. Hsu was a lovely host, introducing me to all the participating artists who were able to attend the reception, Britney Prince being one of them, among others I can't remember right now. :/ She had a Norman Rockwell-esque digital painting in the show that addressed gay rights. The work in the show was extremely diverse, ranging from ethereal photographs to modern Western paintings to vinyl floor motifs.
I had a nice surprise when I saw the bulletin board across from the gallery: the Savannah Morning News used my artwork for their cover story for the show! I also found out that my work was an Honorable Mention for being included in the show. I felt very successful indeed. :)
