Slidell issues call for Mixed Media juried exhibition entries

Published in North Carolina News on March 14, 2013

 

The City of Slidell and Mayor Freddy Drennan are inviting artists from 10 southeastern states to submit their works for the Slidell Cultural Center’s upcoming Mixed Media juried exhibition. This annual competition, now in its 21st year, always proves to be a unique exhibit. To qualify as mixed media, artists must use two or more mediums to create their art. Last year’s exhibit included works created with paints, pastels, clay, wood, metals and fabrics, plus a wide assortment of other atypical media such as golden thread, rice paper and bamboo.

 

Phil Galatas, a world-renowned artist, three time “Best in World” Ward World Champion wood carver, master sculptor and painter, will serve as the juror for this year’s exhibit. Galatas is a native of Slidell, and his roots run deep into Bayou Country, especially along Bayou Liberty on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.

Help Us With Our Facebook Page

Published in Asheville Live on February 28, 2011

Asheville NC SkyCamWhen we originally set up our AshevilleLiveCam.com account on Facebook, we were somewhat new to the process. That means we made the unenviable mistake of creating an actual account for AshevilleLiveCam rather than the recommended “fan page“. Now, unfortunately, our trusted account is nearing the maximum of 5000 friends. Once we reach that limit, we won’t be able to add new friends to the account.

The solution? We’ve created a new fan page for AshevilleLiveCam, but unfortunately we can’t easily convert all our 4000+ “friends” into “fans”. That’s where you come in. It takes only one or two clicks. If you’re reading this on AshevilleLiveCam.com, just click the “Like” button in the right-hand column and you’re done! If you’re reading this somewhere else, just click through to the new fan page and click the big “Like” button at the top.

Thanks for your help as we progress through this transition.
