SPARE a RIB
I would like to tell you that once a year I participate in some sort of thorough Spring cleaning, Winter spruce up, etc. But as recently as Monday I admitted that housekeeping in not my strong suit. I do, however, love annual traditions like Ribfest, Wingfest and the Chili Cook-off. Here’s another annual event that can add to your resume instead of adding to your waist line.
Check out this Call for Entries from the New Rochelle Council on the Arts for their 2011 Annual Juried Exhibit. The entry fee is only $15 for three images, and the sales commission is a miniscule 20%. Don’t miss this opportunity!
