ARTS in the AIRPORT – No Entry Fee!
FLY BY ME
Of all the shows across the country that I have been a small part of over the years, I have received more feedback from the Arts in the Airport series than any other. Note: Some people ponder a masters degree online when they want to take advanced art courses. Whether you were part of this exhibit or want to someday be a part of another exhibit, extra knowledge is helpful.
I was an exhibiting artist in the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 shows, and I regularly heard from fans of my work that they saw my pieces while traveling through Knoxville.
Such a treat it has been.
I am going to work on an entry for this next call. To all of my fellow TN artists… take a minute to enter. There is no entry fee and the exposure is great.

RECEPTION: Arts in the Airport
I recently posted an update about my being juried into the Arts in the Airport show. On Thursday November 5th, I got to attend my first show opening and reception located in an airport. Click Here to see all of the work in the Arts in the Airport show.
First, my kudos go out to the Knoxville Airport Authority’s devotion to the arts and willingness to put their money where their mouths are by offering $1000 in awards and NO ENTRY FEE. Secondly, I want to applaud how well the reception and viewing were handled considering all the security issues surrounding any event held in the airport.
My husband, son Oscar and I drove approximately 1.5 hours to attend, and I had a great time. Here are some pictures of the event:
