Prepared and sent, by mail and electronically, two applications in response to "Call for Entry" postings. These applications require a good chunk of time for those of us who are not organized and business-oriented - eg. a half hour devoted to finding a postage stamp, and then looking up postal rates to see whether the amount is still sufficient; another half hour looking for the ink that invariably runs out when you need it most, etc (not to mention the missing eyeglasses and the car keys, and did I even feed the dogs today?)
Are these juried exhibits worth the effort, and the time they take away from the making of art, and the cost? Are they legitimate? Will a qualified juror actually see the submission? I don't know. I'm taking the chance this time, and hopefully will have positive results to post at a later point. Meanwhile, back to my daffodils and spring light... "art is long, life is short."
