PSOA convention
 

Who among our forum friends will be attending the Portrait Society conference in Washington, DC this May ? As I'm planning to be there, and it would be an added bonus to meet online acquaintances there, if it works out. Anyone?

I'll be there!

Have you been before?

Yes, it's very worthwhile.

I will be there. I joined the PSA faculty last year, and will be doing one of the four opening night live demos, as well as participating on a discussion panel and in portfolio critiques.


You'll really enjoy the whole event, and the Thursday night demos are fun - you can move from room to room throughtout the 2-hr period. Plus there are so many fun artists there!

I'll be there also. It will be great to meet you, Richard. The program has lots of valuable stuff in it (yay,Chris!) and just being able to talk with other artists is wonderful. I'm really looking forward to it.

Of course I knew Chris would be there! (gonna bring your magic shoes?)
Is it intimate enough a gathering that you can be sure to "run into" everyone attending? It really would be a pleasure to meet the folks who post here in person!

Of course I'll be there.

Well, it depends how late you stay up arguing with people. :)

The event is actually surprisingly crowded, but there are many opportunities to sit down with an artist who knocks your socks off, buy him/her coffee, and pick his/her brain. The PSA does a wonderful service in bringing so much talent under one roof.

P.s. I plan on being there and it will be nice to see you again, Richard!

Does anyone know why they alternate between only a few locations? I would love to see them try someplace closer to my neck of the woods sometime.
