Seventh International Open Exhibition
September 19 through November 9, 2003
Cornell Museum of Art and History
Delray Beach, Florida |
 What a wonderful day I just completed!! I had the privilege of spending it with all the artists who entered this NAPA exhibition--through their excellent wor. thanks to all the artists who submitted work for the show, because through you images I got to know you--as you sared yourselves with me for the day.
There is great diversity in NAPA, and it shows in the variety of subjects chosen, the techniques employed and the styles each artist has used from frompe l'oeil to abstract expressionism. Technically the show is first rate--I had a divvidult time selection the ten top images in order to give them awards. It seems that way each year, the show is stronger than the previous exhibition. t6hat is a very healthy indication of steady individual growith. I especially like the emphasis on content and personal expression that many artists were able to communicate.
My day and my life were enriched because of the time I spent selecting the slides. And I thank you again for that, and for sharing yourselves with me for the day. Congratulations to all who entered the show; further congratulations to those whose work was selected to represent NAPA; and special kudos to those whose outstanding work was selected to win an award.
I hope that viewers who see the exhibition will enjoy it as much as I did in selecting the images. Listen carefully to what these accomplished artists are telling us in their work. It is only through study that we can read the visual messages the artsts are sharing with us. And they have done it very well.
