A Time for Showing, and a Time for Seeing

I had a great experience at the Loveland Sculpture Invitational, in large part due to the great connections I made with sculptors and art lovers. I was reminded of the importance of showing one’s work to the public, seeing people respond to the art, and having conversations about how it touches them. Several of the relationships that were created at this event will endure for years to come.

Now that I’ve been on the exhibition side of things, I’m looking forward to taking in lots of beautiful art this Fall at two exciting events.

First, I’ll be traveling to Florence with several other sculptors for a workshop led by my sculpting teacher, Simon Kogan. Besides the pure joy of being in Italy and taking in so much world-class sculpture, I’m looking forward to developing my skill and learning from a great artist like Simon once again.

Second, I’ve registered to attend TRAC2012, The Representational Art Conference, sponsored by Cal Lutheran University this October. I’ve never attended this conference before, but it looks like an event dedicated to promoting thoughtful, serious art and academic discourse. I hope some of you consider this event as well!
