A Sweet Taste of the Mountains
September 8, 2009
Madison, VA
We’re back from Madison, VA, where on Friday and Saturday we were lucky enough to be part of the grand opening of the Madison Arts Exchange. Twelve artists, including 4 photographers, were showcased in the inaugural weekend exhibit held in conjunction with the annual Taste of the Mountains Festival in Madison, in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.
MadArts, as the venue is lovingly called, will open periodically – the next time being October 17th – and is still evolving. I feel blessed to be a part of a group of very talented artists being lovingly shepherded by MadArts owner Janine Jensen. We got a tremendous amount of local press and publicity in the Madison and Charlottesville areas, as well as a plug in my area weekly, The Brunswick Citizen (Brunswick, MD).
My prints were very well received, and I savored the fact that I sold some prints of varying sizes – and loved finding out about the destinations of two of them…. one (a shot of the old post office in Clark County, VA on US 340)will be on a very nice person’s office wall, and one (a small print of carousel horses at Glen Echo Park, DC) will hang in the beautiful nursery room of a newborn beauty in NC named Neila.
An exciting future lies ahead for MadArts, and I look forward to being part of it.
