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:
