call for submissions

Just in case I need a little direction...  though, I certainly don't plan to enter any art contests any time soon...  Well, why not?!  No one said you had to be a professional to enter contests!!!

Join AVAA and the Austin Art Space Resident Artists for the first show of the year – “For the LOVE of Art” 9th Annual Exhibition & Sale – at Austin Art Space Gallery & Studios, 7739 Northcross Dr., 78757. The theme of the show is LOVE.
What is your interpretation of LOVE – is it a place, a person, a feeling, an object, a work of art, a memory?

maybe I should have saved my anniversary painting after all?...
and, it's my birthday...  (shouldn't I get a prize for that reason alone?!)
