Doug Granger's online portfolio of virtual lights and gobo silhouettes

Instead of using traditional oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors, pencils or standard computer illustration programs, Doug Granger has developed a new technique using 3-D software to project "virtual" lights and "gobo" silhouettes onto a blank virtual "canvas."

5 Great Reasons to Enter Juried Shows

  

If you've been too intimidated to enter juried shows, you may be wondering if there's any reason even to consider entering. Well, we've got five great reasons that might just change your mind.

 

1. Exposure. Being included in a juried show is a great way to broaden the audience for your work. 

 

2. Cachet. Being able to include juried shows on your resume gives you more credibility in the eyes of gallery owners.

 

3. Learning. Whether you're included or not, you'll get a chance to see what that particular market is seeking.

 

4. Networking. If you live close enough to go to the opening of a show for which you've been selected, you'll be able to meet other artists, art buyers and gallery owners to expand your network on contacts.

 

5. Prizes. Juried shows quite often include prizes. These vary from show to show, but may include cash, gift certificates, solo shows, or merchandise.

 

Choose shows that fit your work. (Don't enter sculpture in a watercolor show!) For a relatively small investment, you may get a chance to break out into new markets and find new buyers.

The Art Education Center

 

The Digital Artist's latest educational video offering explores one of the most important factors to affect contemporary art: cultural and economic globalization. Topics explored in this video include the changing history of modern western art’s relationship to the rest of the world; theories of globalization; issues of ethnic and cultural difference; and the status of photography in relation to globalization.

 

There are now 67 world-class presentations available for viewing in 12 categories, including architecture, art, science and technology, art and society, art history, cartooning, drawing, graphic design, illustration, painting, photography, sculpture and typography. We will be adding material regularly to build a free online art education for the world. More...
