Since I already spilled the beans on another forum, I am confessing that
Apotheoun is among the semifinalists chosen for the Outwin Boochever 2006 Portrait Competition, of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. Needless to say, I am elated!
I received an email notification last night from the Associate Curator Coordinator of the competition. Evidently there were about 4,000 entrants. I think the target is for about 120 semifinalists, but I am not sure. Ultimately in March they will make a final selection of perhaps 50-60 portrait paintings and sculptures for the inaugural exhibition of the reopening of the National Portrait Gallery on July 1, 2006. Notification will be sent to all entrant participants by November 15th of their current competition status. Who else is a semifinalist? 'Fess up!
Wish me, and all entrant participants the best of luck!
