Real Art DC Contest
There is a call for the Washington area's best aspiring artists to upload their work at washingtonpost.com/museums to be featured in a new posting, With Real Art DC, regarding canvassing the local neighborhoods for aspiring artists. Contest Rules. Expiration for entry is September 30, 2010. There are so many entries (1,652 at the time of this posting) that I almost had to stop reviewing but when I got past 1,000, I figured I could get through them all. I'm sure there will be many more after this since it was mentioned in the paper over the weekend. Within a week of the deadline, the public will be able to vote for two weeks for their favorites and the winner will be interviewed and featured in the Washington Post newspaper.
This is a great opportunity, even just for exposure. Here are a just a few that stood out to me, in no particular order of preference:
Graphite:
Paintings:
Textile:
Sculpture:
Photography:
Video Installation:

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
