Juried Art Event: Domino Denied!

After I came home from lunch today I had a message on the answering machine from the Art Gallery.

“Your piece, Domino: The Run was not accepted for the show.Ã? Will you please pick it up by 5 PM today.”

So there it is, Domino which was one of the top favourites in votes on this site was rejected by the main juror for the show which will start on Friday.Ã? In the good news front The Microphone and Granola Frank have made it through to the show.Ã? Two out of three isn’t bad right?Ã? Considering this is my first showing I’ll take it.

I’m not sure the reasoning behind Domino not making it through but looking at the other two pieces they can also be seen as a combined piece with them both having a musical tone to them.Ã? Little did the judge know that Domino is the face of the Sault music scene.Ã? Another possible reason was to open up some space for another artists — in this case I’m fine with the decision.Ã? I guess it would just be nice to know why so that you can fix any mistakes or errors for next time.

If you get a chance to get down to the Art Gallery during Bon Soo be sure to check out my pieces and comment very loudly on how much you like them (even if you don’t).Ã? The opening is tomorrow night and I honestly do not know what that entails or if I am going yet — I think it might be required of me but I’m not sure.

Also if you would like to purchase an 8×12 print of Domino: The Run there is currently one available and it may sell to the best offer.

    Well, congrats on getting two in! There could be a lot of reasons it wasn’t accepted, some technical, some logistical.

    Exhibit openings are fun. You should go. Most of the ones here involve live music and free food.

    too bad about Dom, poor fella. How could someone possibly turn down that sweet mug of his. Good job on the other two, tho’.

    I may cover the opening for SooToday, so you should go so you and I can make fun of others and eat free food and stuff.

    Go for the free food. It’s not like we can afford to feed you at home.
