| | The Everson museum of art in syracuse had an event called 60/60.. 60 artists in 60 minutes. i got an email about it saying they were still looking for artists, and i didn't think they would accept me, but i sent in an application and monday i got an email welcoming me as a participant to the event. what the artists were supposed to do is either create a piece in 60 minutes, or finish a piece in 60 minutes. so i just had this feeling about this one piece of mine that i should enter it. i was really nervous and was going back and forth between two pieces, i even took both with me, but i ended up using the one i had the feeling about.. just because i've got to go with my gut. As soon as i got there one of the other artists tried cutting me down.. but whatever i'm learning to be more resilient. all of the art was going to be raffled, and people got to pick the piece they wanted.i had more than 20 tickets in my bucket. and then they gave out awards, and i got people's choice for most emotional piece. i met some very nice people, and then my piece went to this woman who said she would give it to her grand daughter. so i guess i can say i'm an award winning artist now. i'm sorry my mom wasn't here to see it, or maybe she was.
p.s. i don't want to sound like a jerk.. but the woman who cut me down... didn't win an award.
