2014 Joyce Elaine Grant Exhibition at Texas Woman's University, Denton, TX

Today in class we took a more in depth look at the Exhibition Opportunities assignment. 

• By April 25th, you will need to have applied to two art exhibition or art opportunities.

• On April 24th you will submit documentation of these submissions which can be:
• * application materials
• * emailed receipt from online application
• * email notification of online application
• * list of information of where the work was sent and details of what was sent

• Bring me a physical printed copy of this information. 

Some resources to look for art opportunities:

* College Art Association http://www.collegeart.org/opportunities/
  Call for Entry: https://www.callforentry.org/
  Springboard for the Arts http://www.springboardforthearts.org/Jobs/Jobs.asp
* Society for Photographic Education: http://www.spenational.org/
  Art Deadlines: http://www.artdeadlines.com
  Artist Residency Database: http://www.resartis.org/

Most States and Cities have Arts Organizations that post grants/jobs/public art and
exhibition opportunities for artists. Many of these will be for state residences
only but some opportunities will be nationwide as well.

We then reviewed basic color corrections and editing in Lightroom, how to export images, and the basic overview of Photoshop tools and layers. And then we had a mini session on how to use the Canon Rebel.
