Next To The Last Chance

If you traditionally wait until the last moment to do your Christmas shopping, Santa is in the chimney. That’s right, if you planned to enter the CAM Biennial your time is up. Today, tomorrow and Wednesday are the last days for entries in the show.

This is a chance to see your art hanging in a real, live art museum. How can you pass that up? And for all of the “REAL” artists out there turning your, oh so patrician noses in the air, if you want the quality of the art in this show to be commonplace sit on your hands. This is a show where anyone can enter; there is no jury except for the participants.

That’s right, there are no blue-noses sniffing and snorting at what constitutes ART, just the folks who enter and if you do REAL art and don’t enter because you don’t want to end up hanging on a wall with some amateur then the quality of the show will suffer and who’s fault is that?

So, get your frames together and go to the Coos Art Museum before it is too late. Pay the entry fee, if you enter three pictures it’s only $35.00, and take your best shot. You’ll get to see your work in a museum and if the public likes it enough you get…a private showing at a future date. If that doesn’t make your juices flow maybe you’re a quart or two low? Com-on, your own show, a chance to get all of those pieces juries rejected, wrongly, hung and vindicated, that’s neater than sliced bread.

Don’t wake up on Thursday and find that the moment has passed you by, the CAM Biennial comes only once every two years, (which is why its called a biennial), and that’s a long time to wait to make up for your tardiness. So don’t be a fool, stay in the really big sheeeeeeew! Okay so maybe most of that phrase has been used before, but it’s true, the show is here, the time is now and if you don’t play ya can’t win.
