Wintertide / Hudson Hospital / Sartell Paper mill/ Grant stuff

Well, I've been busy but not producing much.

I've got a show of my work in a group show at the Hudson Hospital in Hudson Wisconsin. I don't expect much out of it - it's just their way of avoiding buying artwork and if they do, it probably won't be mine anyway. I'd love to have my work in a children's or young adult's wing, but it seems that my work has too many physical and psychological sharp edges for these institutions. Well I can dream, right?
I look at it as good storage for the work - better being seen than in the studio.
I've also been working on my maquette for the Sartell Paper Mill which needs to get done soon and of course a working on my MN State Arts Board Grant project with ordering printed tin from China - more on that later.
In the meantime, I've got work in a 'new and exclusive' juried show here in 'Nordeast' Minneapolis. It's a new venture for the North East Minneapolis Arts Association called 'Wintertide'. It's meant as an additional show to benefit members of NEMAA (artists who work in Nordeast). In this case, the added benefit is the chance to show in Public Functionary - an art gallery specializing in artists from out of town, and the opportunity to win some serious cash prizes. So, fingers crossed everyone...
