| I just returned from a workshop sponsored by
The Cherry Creek Arts Festival where images were projected for about 80
artists. We were able to see our images like they would be seen during the
actual jury process. The invited juror (Jerry
Gilmore) spent much of his time talking about the booth image. His
experience as a museum curator steered him to prefer booth images that
were staged in a photographer's studio or retail venue. He had problems
with peripherals like awnings, track lighting and print bins showing in
the booth. During the workshop, the Director of the Cherry Creek Festival
used the phrase "staged booth image" which is a very accurate term to
describe what the juror was looking for. |
The mixed booth picture message
Aside from the what the message was of what Cherry Creek is looking for
(or at least thinks is OK) as a minimal booth image, someone mentioned
that the Bayou City Houston show wants to see all the booth accessories in
the picture as it would be set up at their show. As a result of what we
saw and was discussed, I wonder why the festival directors wouldn't want
more control over the booth image instead of leaving it up to the jurors
to decide what they want to see. Either not have artists submit pictures
of their display or do submit them but not show the booth image to the
jurors |
