[Kahlua Kid]

SIerra Art Trails - Artist Submission deadline is May 1st, 2005!!!

If you'd like to be considered to be on the Trail this year, read below and go to www.sierraarttrails.org (http://www.sierraarttrails.org) for the submission form and further instructions.

"Our mission is to support working artists and artisans by promoting their work, to foster the visual arts in our area, and to benefit our communities by establishing a reputation for the area as an arts destination.�



Hello Artists and Artisans,

This is a reminder that the Sierra Art Trails 2006 Application Deadline is May 1st, 2006. Many thanks to all of you who have applied! If you have not sent in your application, we sincerely hope that you will join the show again this year.

If you have participated in past years you have probably noticed that the deadline is quite a bit earlier. Sorry if we caught you by surprise! The earlier deadline allows us to complete the catalog sooner, and to promote the show longer before it arrives in October.

If you are running a few days late don't despair! Williams Gallery West will accept hand-delivered applications until 5 PM on Friday, May 5th. Come on by if you want to drop off your application. If you cannot get to the gallery, and know a planning committee member, you can hand it off to them for delivery.

If you want to apply, but for some reason you are unable to get your application in on time, please call or email to let us know.

Thanks very much for your attention, Jon Bock, Sierra Art Trials, www.sierraarttrails.org (http://www.sierraarttrails.org)

I know! It took me 3 weeks to weedle my pics down to the 5 I'd submit.

Artist Statement is whatever you'd like to say about your work, philosophy, etc.

Bio is more like your artist resume - any awards won, where you learned your art (ie., college, etc.) that sort of stuff.

Ive weedled down to my 5 submission pics. woo hoo.. how I just gotta tackle the bio and artist statement.

[Yosemite_Wolf]

I turned in my photos, and my very scant bio.

I just got home from riding, and found a msg to call a lady (i wont post names here) re: the sierra art trails... is that a good or bad thing that they called? Im hoping its a good thing, cos if they didnt choose me, then they wouldnt be calling right?

[BGW]

Well??????

[Yosemite_Wolf]

LOL.... got ya in suspense eh? I can't call her back til monday... she was on her way outta town.

[SheilaMae]

Well, geesh - we s'pposed to keep our fingers crossed for ya 'til Monday sometime????? That's gonna make getting ANYTHING done pretty difficult....

I gots no idea Wolfie - I think they are about to judge the work and advise us artists soon if we made it into the Trails.

They may have been calling about your disk/files - maybe it wouldn't open? You can call now - its probably someone's home number. And Jon Bock is usually at his Gallery - Williams Gallery West in Oakhurst - maybe he knows why they were calling?

I'd recommend calling NOW - because you don't want to miss out on being judged if they are having trouble with viewing your disk/photos!

Soooooooooooo...what's the deal, Wolfie???? Any news??????

[Yosemite_Wolf]

dont know. cant seem to get hold of her
