 Erin Prindiville, our Art Show Director wanted to pass on this following message:

"In case you're wondering, I'm accepting submissions for the Art Show up till 10am July 8th. I do prefer to know in advance so I can print out your price card, etc (by contacting me at Artshow@NADWCon.org), but I don't want to turn away any of the talent in our marvelous community*. There is a $1.50 hosting fee per piece.

*Please be aware that prime real estate is first contacted, first displayed, and while your piece will be displayed with dignity, it may not be hung in the spot you desire till another piece is sold."

Greetings,

FYI: The Program Descriptions for NADWCon 2011 are up at It Bodes and will be posted to the website this evening.

Regards to all here,

Dj
