About "Celebrate HerStory 2009"

As promise, here is my update on this exhibition...

Jurors, Janice Sands (Executive Director of Pen and Brush Galleries in New York City) and Renée Phillips (Founder and Director of Manhattan Arts International and member of the International Association of Art Critics) selected the three sculptures I submitted for the show as Best in Sculpture, among with other six from six other artists. As you can see, there were only 9 sculptures chosen from which three are mine, so I'm very pleased about it!!! You can view the selected artworks by clicking on Best in Sculpture at http://www.manhattanarts.com/Gallery

And... to top it up, I received a second place cash award for my sculpture work. Here is what juror Renee Phillips said about it on her statement: "I selected Corina S. Alvarezdelugo for the $75 Cash Award because her sculpture addresses HerStory with bold simplicity and versatility."

On Renee Phillip's letter to me it reads: "Congratulations! Your entries were outstanding and both Janice Sands and I were in agreement about selecting your work for the "Celebrate HerStory" online group exhibition on the Manhattan Arts website... After putting up the online exhibition I (Renee Phillips) took time visiting each wiener's website and upon seeing the rest of your work, it was clear you should receive one of the Manhattan Arts International special awards..."

UPDATE on CONNECTIONS / CONEXIONES an art exhibit in New Haven, CT

We're almost ready for the opening of CONNECTIONS / CONEXIONES our exhibition of mixed media and sculptures in New Haven, CT

We have been very busy in the past two days hanging paintings, setting the sculptures on pedestals (my husband is making more pedestals for me as I'm writing this), gathering together all the information we want to put on the labels for our artworks, preparing a binder with each of the participant artists' information (Bio, Statement, some images of works...) I've designed a poster to place on a sandwich sign, which is going to be placed outside the gallery, so people know we're open. The invitations have been mailed and emailed. We have send all the press releases. So, with a few finishing touches, a few flowers here and there, plenty of food and drinks and nice music and we'll be all set to open our exhibition to the public, this coming Friday at 5:30PM

I'll post pictures of the opening this weekend.
