2018 Crafts Shows and beyond

2/1/2019

It took me a while, after relocating from Louisiana to New Jersey, to figure where to start showing my work again.   I didn't really get settled in my new apartment until the summer but did manage to participate in several shows towards the end of the year.   In 2018 I displayed my watercolors and greeting cards in crafts shows located in Bethlehem, PA,  E. Windsor, NJ and Lawrenceville, NJ.    Below you can see some of my displays from those events. .    

I find it motivating having upcoming events to create new artworks for.  In considering my goals for 2019.  I thought I would like is to participate in one crafts show about every three months,.   In January I started making good progress towards making these things happen as I have already been accepted into 3 juried crafts shows:   
  • March 23 Robbinsville NJ,   13th annual 100% Handcrafted juried arts and crafts fair at Robbinsville High School. 
  • April 27, Tinton Falls, NJ.  Monmouth County Spring Craft Show
  • Sept 21  Schwenksville PA Craft Marketplace at Pennypacker Mills,  
I have been gathering information on several other quality local arts & crafts shows that will held between Halloween and Christmas, but have nothing definite scheduled yet. 

I was just also accepted to join "Watercolorists Unlimited", a small Princeton area watercolor group that has been meeting monthly for 25 years.   Each month they set a theme for their members to paint.  Then at the following month's meeting, they critique each others work. .  I am really excited about being able to participate and grow artistically as part of this group.  Additionally, their members participate in a few group art exhibitions each year.   I think this will inspire me to paint more ambitious works.  

Finally,  the Princeton Sketchers group I formed here last March, which has been meeting twice a month to sketch in downtown Princeton and vicinity, is now being officially sponsored by the Princeton Public Library.   They will be providing us with a meeting room,  event listings on their calendar, website and printed publications,  and a special bookshelf with a curated selection of books about sketching for our members (and the public)  to use.   We may also be able to bring in a guest speaker this summer.   

All in all, I think the prospects for 2019 look good!
