No, this isn't one of *those* threads..i promise...

A couple months ago I sent in 5 slides of my images to a jury for a rather large local art show (I live in SE Connecticut and the show is the Mystic Outdoor Art Festival for anyone who might be familiar) I sent them in about 3 days before the final deadline. I honestly thought I didn't have a snowball's chance of being accepted. Not because my work isn't good enough but because the MOAF is very "Old School" and I didn't think they'd accept my work because it was digital and not oils or pastels or watercolors. We were supposed to hear back by the first week in May. Well, the first week in May came and went and I didn't hear anything so I assumed that my work wasn't accepted and that I'd be receiving my refundable booth fee in the mail shortly. Yesterday afternoon, my phone rang...as I was being lazy on the couch, I let the machine get it and only caught the last part of the message which was "...congratulations. See you at the show." . My curiosity piqued slightly I got up and listened to the message and lo and behold! I've been accepted to the art show!! August 9th and 10th I will have an 8'x 8' booth in one of the largest and most prestigous art shows in New England in order to show and sell my art and even more importantly, get my name out there!

I just wanted to share this in case there are others out there who think, like I did, that because your work is digital it will never be accepted by the more traditional crowds...the world is changing and art, it appears, as well as artistic impression...is changing with it.
