| 1999 ASA Art Exhibit
Award Winners Honored in Dallas |
Now in its 34th Year, the ASA Art Exhibit ended the
millennium with a successful show in Dallas. ASA attendees
made more than 4000 visits to enjoy the 86 works that included
painting, photography, poetry, weaving, drawings and crafts. The
Art Exhibit Committee spent hours on Saturday preparing for the
judges, Dr. John Stone, Marilyn Walgore and Murray Smither, who
privately viewed entries and contemplated their choices for awards.
At the Reception Sunday evening, artists and guests went straight
to their favorite pieces to see if they had been awarded a ribbon.
And, as in previous shows, many entries served as the focus of
discussion about techniques, style, color, and presentation. Artists
and their families renewed old friendships, and posed for photos
in front of their works.
We on the Committee are grateful for the pride and talents of
those who showed their work, which, again, evoked very positive
comments from the judges. We also thank Judy Rabern from Emory
University, who has done a terrific job organizing data and communicating
with artists.
The Committee chose "Faces" as the theme for the year
2000 show in San Francisco. We have begun work on locating judges,
selecting space in the Moscone Center, and fine tuning the many
details of assembling this exciting event at the Annual Meeting.
Help us make the 2000 show a suitable beginning to a new millennium
by sharing your talent in any medium. For Exhibit guidelines,
please write or contact ASA Headquarters.
