I haven't seen an actual artwork made of Felt but I think it would be awesome to see it in person. That’s cool.

This can cause problems with juried artshows where there generally is a "completed in the last two years" rule. Many other artists seem to fudge their completion dates for these shows, since ther actual art doesn't depict a date. If the art fits the show theme, the date completed shouldn't matter. In cases of no theme, I can understand the date rule. Also, new doesn't always mean fresh or better . I've often sold older art because of client's personal preference.

We simply posted the call for entries - we are not affiliated or have any part in their process. Sorry for the confusion. Your best bet is to call either establishments directly. Thanks! Hi Melinda!

One would think they'd know more about their own call for entry, but that's how it goes sometimes. Thanks for reading anyway! I look forward to more comments from you. That’s a bummer!

I telephoned the Aspen Art Museum when I read your blog post. They couldn't answer the deadline question either, unfortunately. In a very pleasant voice one young lady told me that I could call FedEx for that day's pickup in Denver and get same day delivery in Aspen!!! Whoa. It must be the altitude. I declined. But, I'll check back to your blog again. Thanks Jessica. I telephoned the Aspen Art Museum when I read your blog post.
