Once again Rountree Gallery is sponsoring a Platteville WRAP Show.
The exhibit will be up through October 21, 2022, in the upper lobby of the Platteville Public Library, 225 W Main St, Platteville WI.
The workshop for participants was held on Saturday, September 17 in the library community room.
The workshop covered two subjects-
1. Presenting Artwork. Session was focused on methods for framing, mounting, displaying and hanging various types of art to best highlight the artwork. Also discussed were best practices for submitting artwork to exhibits to help ensure the works are displayed as intended. Dan O’Brien, artist and retired art faculty at UW Platteville, gave the presentation and served as the show judge.
2. Photographing Artwork. Steve Yunck, UW Platteville Professor and photography instructor, presented strategies and techniques for artists to produce good quality photographs, essential to submitting for exhibit, documenting, creating content for digital and print. Geared toward non-photographers with limited photography skills, use of both digital cameras and phone cameras were covered.

Although the group was very small (only four artists entered the show), the discussion of the artwork was robust. One state award and one honorable mention was given. I received the honorable mention for the combination of my two entries - Open Up and Sultan2. A novel approach, but interesting that he felt the two belonged together.
