INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED
My kitchen cupboard is like the United Nations of spice racks. I love challenging my taste buds by experimenting with tastes and flavors that have not been a natural part of my cultural experience. As you know, I live in the Great Smoky Mountains where Thai food is considered a really exotic experience… so I value my trips to larger metropolitan areas for food variety alone. Is it wrong that I want to enter this next show just so I might be able to grab some Ethiopian food on the way to the opening? I don’t think so either.
Check out this Call for Entries for the 22nd Annual International Juried Competition from Viridian Artists, Inc. The entry fee is a little high, but the results could be a large number of your pieces in a time-honored exhibit in New York City. Take a look…

For the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Sussman co-organized, with Renate Petzinger of the Museum Wiesbaden, a full retrospective on the work of Eva Hesse; the exhibition received AICA’s First Prize for the best monographic exhibition outside of New York in 2001 and 2002.
