FOREVER 25

Just a year or so after the 25th anniversary of my birth, I began my love affair with cheese. Well, more accurately, I began working behind the counter of a gourmet cheese shop.  A world that had previously been defined by cheddar, Swiss and American cheeses now suddenly included choices between cow, goat and even sheep’s milk cheeses.  Sometimes 25 years is the turning point.  This next call wants to see your perspective on the past 25 years’ events.  Whatcha got?

Check out this Call for Entries for the Target Gallery at the Torpedo Factory Art Center (Alexandria, VA) for 25 Years. It is no secret that I love this gallery for their curatorial vision, but I think it is with good reason. Investigate for yourself…
