Thanks to everyone for your wonderful advice and encouraging words. I’ve made the reservations and am now almost $2000 poorer (my husband and daughter are going with me). We have planned it as a business trip/senior trip for my daughter/vacation, so the “value” of the whole trip is not contingent on the art business aspect of it. I’ll be happy to report on everything when I return home May 2 (we depart April 27).

I concur with everyone here: GO! And now that you have the award…Bravo!!
(I was going to add that if a full-time successful artist who regularly is accepted to national shows is what you want to be, live it!)
Way to go. Congrats!

I believe it would be a honor to be one of the top 100 artist chosen to be exhibited and I would try and make the show. I would get the opportunity to talk to people interested in my work, meet other artists, network, plus enjoy NYC. How could I lose?

Being accepted in an AWS exhibition is an opportunity of a lifetime! Seeing the original works of the other artists and perhaps meeting them as well as giving patrons the opportunity to meet you can only be beneficial. I wouldn’t miss this for the world!

THis is what I wrote earlier— but send it to Alyson’s artbiz e-mail instead of the blog —
out here is Santa Fe, NM – I found the dinner a bit stuffy, but that was in the dark ages (early-80s), and EVERYTHING has changed so much since then – try to find someone to stay with – it’ll help you orient and have more fun – NYC is most overwhelming to the uninitiated!
Good luck – hope you win a prize!
