Are group shows worth it?
Every week I get an email that lists all the upcoming juried gallery shows. Some of the shows sound amazing, while the scope of my work is not a good match for others. While it's nice to get into these kinds of shows, sometimes the connections between the works is tenuous at best. Much of the work is spot on, but some of the juror's choices can be a bit inscrutable. Anyway, there is a show coming up that is of interest and I am trying to decide whether to submit work. I have a few weeks to think about it, but I may let this one pass. I guess we all feel blasé about group shows from time to time.
