Title: Humor Me!
Entry: I happened upon this call for entries several weeks ago as my BFA exhibition was wrapping up, and it seemed like a great opportunity to try and show some of my pieces on a national level. Although most of my work this year has included humor to varying extents, I decided to submit my two "hybrid" pieces (i.e. those that combined printmaking and graphic design) because they relate strongly to my own experiences and best reflect my varied interests. The show is all about humor and bringing joy to the viewer, and it is open to all forms of media, from sculpture to print to graphic design work.
Assessment: My submissions will be assessed by the show juror. Along with the application (photographed below--I was surprised they required a mailed form!), I submitted a CD with photographs of the two pieces for the juror to judge. I will not know if my work has been selected or denied until August 15th, so I have a while to wait on this one!
Conclusion: This was my first entry to a juried show outside of Drake's annual exhibition, and my first submission on a national level. As an appreciator of good humor myself, I think it is a wonderful exhibition theme and a good reminder that we needn't take art and design so seriously all the time! I am confident in the pieces that I submitted and I feel that they have a decent chance of getting into the show. If one or both of them do, I will definitely have to plan a trip out to Maryland to see them at the Annmarie Center.
