8th Juried Invitational Exhibition – Marcy Ann Villafana with VAA

I drove to HOUSTON to submit my art to an Invitational Exhibition.. but the catch was.. i had to bring my art along with 50 other artist… we all were allowed to submit 4 pieces.. had to be there by 10 am.. the judge arrives… we leave the art, they contact the members at 12 and let them know if any of their art is in or not. Just walking in the door, one piece was rejected… ADULT CONTENT.. ok… had to test the venue.. have no idea what they might like.. never shown their before.. BUT YES!!!!!!! all three of my pieces that the judge saw made it into the show.(pressure.. a lot of great art was submitted) YEAH and THANK YOU VAA for the opportunity!!!!!!!!
