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.
