Great Anthotype News!

I have great news!  I submitted my anthotypes to a call for artists through the Center For Fine Art Photography.  They are an organization based in Fort Collins, Colorado who’s mission is: “Promoting the art of photography by supporting the growth of creative artists through exhibitions and educational programs.”

They put out a call for artists once a month for various photographic themes such as “Art in Nature”, “Dreams”, and “Black and White Photography”, have different jurors who are influential in that theme and who choose the work which will be a part of an exhibit.  I have submitted my work a couple of times over the past few years and have not gotten anything accepted.

This time around, however, they are calling for “Food”.  And I thought… “Why not?  My anthotypes are all about food.”  And the juror is fine art photographer David Bram who is also the editor, founder, and curator of Fraction Magazine which features the portfolios of fine art photographers.  Wouldn’t it be great to show him my work?  So I entered three of my works.  And… Winter Beet was accepted!

I am so thrilled to be a part of the exhibition that will be held at the Center in Fort Collins from September 2nd – October 15th.  Check out the Exhibitor’s Announcement who’s link I received in my “Congratulations” email this morning:  http://www.c4fap.org/exhibitors/2011Food/.  If you scroll down you can find my work amongst the other beautiful and fun images under my last name: Guren.  I am honored to be showing with these photographers this fall.

By the way, I definitely checked my email in bed this morning as I couldn’t wait to find out if my work had been chosen.  I definitely shrieked and about jumped out of bed with excitement when I read that I had!

I never heard back from the Mill Valley Arts Commission from my previous submission for a gallery show, but that’s ok.  I am excited to be a part of The Center For Fine Art Photography’s exhibition, get my work in front of other fine art photographers and start getting my anthotypes out in the world.
