REMINDER:
Thanks to Bob O’Brien and the exhibition committee’s hard work, we will be having a juried show at the prestigious Southern Vermont Arts Center, Manchester, Vt. In December. Why am I reminding you about this now?? Because this show will be juried by SLIDE. Just want you to know this far in advance so you will be thinking about which works you want to get scanned/photographed for this event. It takes time to get those slides made!

Here’s one possible resource;

Slide specialists
85 Mechanic St.
Lebanon, N.H.

If you have a source for high-quality slides in your area, please let me know so I can pass along the information to our members.
