We're working to develop new ideas and projects for 2010 and for the
convention in 2011. In case you haven't seen it, we have a new feature
on the IAPS web site, which is a listing of member societies' national
juried
competitions. We believe this will be useful to you when you're
planning which competitions to enter throughout the year. The list is
updated frequently as more shows are added, so it's a good idea to check
it often.
Our next exhibition, the Sixteenth Juried Exhibition, will be at the
Butler Museum in Youngstown, Ohio, and will hang from July 11 to August
29, 2010. The entry deadline is April 26; you can download a prospectus
from the
IAPS
web site.
The 2010 IAPS Web Show prospectus will be available within the next few
weeks on the web site, with an entry deadline in September. We'll send
an email notice when the prospectus is posted.
