I'm in a gallery!

One of my New Years resolutions is done! I have 3 of my photographs on display in a local gallery. This is a jurried show, open to anyone who is a member of a local arts organization. They had over 60 artists submit over 250 pieces. They choose about 50 pieces to display. The show includes photos, wood working, metal sculptures, paintings, pastels, poetry, digital creations, mosaics and many other forms or art. The show is in the Harry and Laura Nohr Gallery in Ullsvik Hall at the University of Wisconsin – Platteville from February 4th to 28th. There are also photographs from 4 other members of my photo club in this show as well.


Here are a couple photos I took of the gallery on Tuesday night.
1. Two of my photos.
2. A wall of art

That is awesome Mike. Certainly well deserved. Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:

Heck! I figured from what I've seen here that you were in lots of galleries all the time.
Congratulations....wise jurors there, I'd say.

That's great. Congratulations!!! You should be v. proud of your work...

Oh wow! Congrats, Mike. Your work looks great up there. Wish I could see it in person.

way to go mike!

huge difference between printed large, framed and hung, than on a screen. I wish more people would make the effort to make prints...but so many people think the image on the screen is enough...

One resolution down....

Thanks everyone. I wish I would have taken more pics of the other displays in the show, but I was short on time. I'll try to get some more before the show ends.

Thanks Adina. I couldn't agree more about the prints. Seeing them on my monitor is nice, but seeing them displayed in a frame is even better.

Mike, congratulations on your showing. :thumbsup: Now that you have hit the big time will we still be able to talk to on the forums? Jeff

Congratulations Mike!

That is awesome!

Nice job, Mike. The gallery and the show look really first class...

Congratulations Mike, from your posts I'd say it was well deserved.

Way to go Mike. It is really a kick to see you work alongside other very nice pieces of work and know that they measure up. Hope this is the first of a lots of gallery exhibits to come.

Congrats Mike, Your photos are spectacular.

Thats awesome!! Congrats!!!:thumbsup:

Thanks everyone. It really is a great feeling to see your work displayed along with many other great works of art.

Congratulations on making the cut a having your work in the show. I did get my work in one show a few years back but I almost always find out about a photo show to late to enter :(

Please let us know how you fared :D

Very nice, and well deserved!

And as an extra bonus for getting one of the resolutions out of the way early, you're entitled to months of procrastination! :)

Amazing!! You have wonderful talent friend. My favorite would have to be the 1st lower one. It has a great mood coming off of it :) Well done!

Congratulations!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That's great well done, hope I can get there one day too. You must be very proud and you should be. S

A bit late to the party but a BIG BIG BIG congrats to you Mike! Your work is amazing! Well deserved!

Congrats, nice work. I really like the photo of the mill at night.

Thanks for bringing this thread back, and thanks for the kind words. At the same time that this show was going on, I had a solo display of 14 of my photos at my church. My photo club is scheduled to hang some of our work in 2 local coffee shops later this spring. There is also another gallery show coming up next month that I'm going to try to get into. If I get into that one, it will be 5 shows for me so far this year.

Congrats on the showing Mike! Well done

Cheers,
Dan
