Close But No Cigar

The FINALISTS for the 2011 Janet & Walter Sondheim Prize were announced yesterday, and I'm sorry to say that yours truly did not make that cut. The five fortunate finalists chosen from the forty-three-artist "short list" are:

Stephanie Barber: http://www.stephaniebarber.com/
Louie Palu: http://www.louiepalu.com
Mark Parascandola: http://www.parascandola.com/
Matthew Porterfield: http://www.msac.org/artist.cfm?ID=2884
Rachel Rotenberg: http://www.rachelrotenberg.com/

A very big congratulations to the finalists!

As for me, well, I grew up a Red Sox fan, so I'm well acquainted with the phrase, "There's always next year." C'est la vie! I'm happy my work will be back in MICA during ArtScape, so hopefully you'll see it when you pop inside in a desperate attempt to escape the blistering July heat.

It builds character!
