Adult reflections on childhood, rediscovered, lost or otherwise, rediscovered joy, a second childhood, a childlike view of the world, toys etc. The deadline for a slide or photo of your art work for submission to Yerba Buena is Nov 8, which is the November SAS Meeting. FYI The slide or photo that you submit for this show must be a final, or a slide or photo of the final work that you will submit to the SAS Yerba Buena Group Show.
BTW This theme, Childhood Reflections, was decided upon based on the feedback from the YB curator, who suggested SAS do a group show with toys or a childhood theme.
