How many of us have been moved to tears or joy or fear or any of a myriad other emotions because of a book? Pictures, be they photos, drawings, oil paint, sketches, etc., can evoke the same sorts of emotional response.
I know that women in the Diocese of the Rio Grande include authors and artists. Around the diocese there are opportunities for these talented women to showcase their work. One of these is coming up next week at the Cathedral of St. John in Albuquerque.
While this is rather short notice (because I didn't think of posting the information here), you can still enter. The show is focusing on Illustrators, which is a kind of broad category. If your illustrations are in a book, the author can show that books for sale, too. There will be a Reception for the artists on Friday, September 7 at 5PM and a Book Fair on Nov. 4.
Contact the Cathedral for more info.
