April Updates
Dear artist friends,
This month I want to draw special attention to the programming for our general meeting next Wednesday, April 22. This will be the second of our two-part series on how to up your game when you apply for shows. We will be holding a mock jury to give feedback and offer constructive criticism on the photos you submit with your application.
Learn what juries are looking for when they evaluate applications and receive constructive criticism on how to improve your photos to increase your chances of being accepted to shows. Leslie Rogalski, Vice President of Standards of HGC, will lead this interactive (audience participation!) discussion. Meet some of HGC’s jurors to get insight into how the jurying process works and what kind of feedback is provided.
Everyone is welcome. If you wish to have your photos “juried,” please send up to three pictures of your work and a booth shot to haverfordguild@gmail.com by Tuesday, April 21. Even if you do not submit photos, bring your questions for the jurors.
This will be an in-person meeting held at St George’s Episcopal Church, 1 W. Ardmore Ave., Ardmore, PA 19003. I look forward to seeing you there and hearing your questions.
Cheers,
Brian Middleton, President
