Academic Artists Association

(C) 2018 Dale DiMauro

Recently, I was accepted into the prestigious Academic Artists Association's 68th Annual National Exhibition. This exhibition was held at the Arts Center East in Vernon, Connecticut from May 6 - 25, 2018. 

Yesterday I drove down to retrieve my painting at the conclusion of the exhibition. I was fortunate to have had my painting driven down by others, prior to the opening, as I had a conflicting work schedule. Thus, it was my turn to pickup several paintings from artists who live nearby, in southern Vermont.

However, it was a challenging trip as the temperature gauge in my car hovered around 94 degrees most of the ride. When I committed to this task I did not fully comprehend driving on one of the busiest weekends of the summer season, or at least it felt like summer. Regardless, the quality of the work on exhibit and the exhibit space itself, are top notch.
