I have some of my assemblages on the ArtSlant, Chicago site and have entered their monthly competitions pretty regularly over the last couple of years. This is the first time, however, that I've won an award from them. I am one of the winners in their November showcase competition, which involves artists from other cities too... Los Angeles, Paris, Berlin, New York, Miami, London and more. Check out all the entries, there are LOTS of wonderful artists there!!
I entered my "Factotum" assemblage this time, and received this email a couple of days ago (and I noticed that the award is posted today on my ArtSlant site):
Dear Artist: Congratulations! You have been selected as a Showcase Winner in the November 2009 Showcase!
The ArtSlant Curatorial Team is very pleased to welcome you into our special group of winning artists. Showcase Winners have been designated as promising artists by our team of professional art watchers.
SHOWCASE WINNERS PREMIUM PLACEMENT: Your winning work will move into the Showcase Winners premium placement program.
HOMEPAGE SPOTLIGHT: Your winning work will be randomly exhibited in our spotlight showbox on our Homepage. This new exhibition space has been developed specifically for our Showcase Winners. Look for your work on our homepage next to the Big Black museum and openings box.
GALLERY PANEL JUDGING: Each Showcase winner will go before our Gallery Panel for review and judging over the next week. Our gallerists will select the top Juried Winners, who will be eligible for the Golden Frame competition which will be held in March 2010.
Maybe this can help me get some things into a gallery showing somewhere in the Chicago, Milwaukee area? That would be very cool! Thank you ArtSlant, I appreciate the honor!!

Congratulations!
Your assemblages are quite wonderful.
Thanks Maureen! I hope to find some time to be creative and make more things in the next few weeks... but then, life sometimes gets in the way of MY plans. *L*
