Acceptance

… a word about competitions, online galleries and juried exhibitions…
Acceptance by peers means a lot to Artists because most of us work alone. Accepted works or not, honest feedback and interaction with those who also love what they do, know what they are talking about and enjoy discussing it is always beneficial. If a juried exhibition is local and you’re able to attend, there you see other Artists’ works in person. We encourage each other, and an honest critique goes a long way. Honest critique and rejection of work entered into shows can also be useful; any kind of response offers chances to reconsider details and the direction of our work, and what we might or might not change in order to have it be more successful. (in the eyes of the public and/or as personal challenge).
