Oh, yes I am . . . I'm an artist, too. Quite honestly, I don't think I'd be able to do my job as the Art Show director without at least *some* knowledge on what art is and what it's about.
On the other hand, I also have a Bachelor of Science in Management, and it's helping to make the art show run as smoothly as possible. There will always be hiccups; no plan survives contact with the enemy, after all, but that's why we have people staffing these things.
I guess I could say something about the six item limit thing and the reservation of space. I took over the Art Show after AWA 7 (2001), and at the time, I almost had literally nothing in terms of material to work with. As a result, I used some of the old rules while I tried to get a working balance with the new material (mostly the metal grid wall panels, but also a computer, point-of-sale software, etc.). Now that the Art Show has its material needs mostly taken care of, I can focus my attention on some of the mechanics of doing business with the artists. Truth be told, I have been uncomfortable ever since I took over as director about the way things were done, so they're being looked at right now.
An explanation on why certain rules exist might be beneficial:
-six item limit: In the past, we constantly ran out of space until AWA 10, where I managed to double the panel space without actually buying new panels. The matted/mounted/frame rule also cut down on the number of entries being entered into the show for obvious reasons.
-no reservation of panels for walk-ins: This one stems from the fact that I didn't really have a good system in place to deal with this, nevermind mail-ins. Here, I was pretty much starting from scratch. One of the reasons why the mail-in rules were not published on the website was that I wanted to work small and iron out some kinks as I go along.
The two above, among others, will be under revision for AWA 12.

Hey! Welcome to dev-art J... and hope you have fun poking around. I have a digital camera, so I can help you as well although scanning is by far easier.... esp. if you have some of the photostitch utilities.
Thanks also for the favorite....

And so it begins.
At the suggestion of a friend, I finally got around to signing up to an account here. Of course, now comes the more difficult problem: trying to put my artwork up here.
See, I tend to work almost exclusively on non-digital mediums. Scan it? Well, I tend to work large . . . 19" by 24". Scanning would mean doing a composite picture and then piecing it all together, and that tends to leave marks even with Photoshop's help. Use a digital camera? No good . . . I don't have one, and even if I did, I probably wouldn't use it unless its quality is equal to this XG-7 I have here.
No, I'm probably going to have to use that afore-mentioned XG-7 to take the picture, have the film developed, and then scan the resulting photo in. Oh, well. Maybe now's a good time to get that black velvet I've been meaning to acquire for quite some time. . .
