This show was where I got my start in doing miniatures. I saw the "call to artists" and noticed the gallery was in Chambersburg, a small town near the area where I grew up. After researching what a miniature was, I sent off two works I had done especially for this show. Not only were they accepted, I was awarded an Honerable Mention on one. I was thrilled!
Anne Finucane, exhibit coordinator, was very helpful in answering my questions. I received notice of acceptance of my work before the show, and after, safe return of my work and a catalogue of the show. This show was a great first experience for me and because of it, I am now hooked on doing miniatures. |
