Send Message: To this poster

Thanks, Alynn Guerra
for posting the Day of the Dead print show on your blog website, that you put together last fall. I wanted to participate myself, as this is a poignant theme for me, but the notice time-line was just too short.

I very much appreciated seeing the many approaches to this subject, and especially some of the Barener prints included.

I noticed two of us are still on the one-week holding list for previous exchange participants. When will this be updated? I really would like to be in this exchange as I'm sure would George Jarvis.

Subject: [Baren 40426] Art Institute of Chicago
Send Message: To this poster

Thank you Julio for the hiratsuka link. I enjoyed it and it will have a
connection to anyone who does the unconventional in art
I ( heart )Art Institute of Chicago.
Years ago when passing through Chicago on a trip I went in and saw that
there was a very interesting exhibit opening to Members only the next day.
I told the person at the desk that I was from out of town, passing through
Chicago and so much wanted to see the exhibit.
The person picked up the phone and said she had a VIP to see the such and
such exhibit.! A docent came down and brought me up to the exhibit.
What I saw there was to influence my art for many years. It was a type of
print of Max Ernst and reinforced an idea I was working on.
I owe many thanks to someone in the Art Institute of Chicago. They say
"Only in New York", but no,
"Only in Chicago"
If you are in art long enough, anything can happen and it does!

Subject: [Baren 40427] Harper College Small Works Show prospectus
Send Message: To this poster

Harper College Small Works Show prospectus is available here:

http://goforward.harpercollege.edu/page.cfm?p=5627

In earlier years this was a wonderful international print
exhibition. It has changed over the years to include other art
forms, and it has become small in the size of the works entered,
but it retains its high level of quality!

Best wishes,
Sharen
