Disappointing Art Show

~ MaryG

The “Stronger Together: Art for Democracy” opening was last night and it was disappointing. My painting had the worst placement of all. It was at the very end, in a dark area, and up so high you’d have to be like 7 feet tall to look directly at it. It was definitely not the Bucket List experience I was thinking it might be.

I’m 5’8” and that’s my painting above my head.

The piece that won was made on a computer with Canva. The person who made it said it was her first time using Canva.

This poster got first place and a $500 prize.

The best part of the event was the lovely centerpiece.

A lot of effort went into creating this exhibit, so I shouldn’t complain.

But hey, it’s my blog and I’ll complain if I want to. 😉

  3. Sorry your piece wasn’t given better placement…. but the winning piece? Ugh. That’s not art, it’s a motivational poster. And as far as I’m concerned computer art isn’t art.
