Elaine Augustine Summer 2014 Jeani Taylor, Editor ELAINE AUGUSTINE ABOUT THE JURYING PROCESS By Elaine Augustine, PSA Master Pastelist And a Juror for PSA’s 2014 Enduring Brilliance, National Arts Club, NYC. Twenty-five years ago when the last of my four children went off to college, I started painting again. Raised in an artistic family and painting as far back as I can remember, I had all the tools…just hadn’t had the time while raising my children and helping run the family business. And then I discovered pastels. I Pop Rocks got on a plane and flew to Denver for a workshop with Ramon Kelly, came home, and haven’t stopped painting since then. One of my Bucket List goals was to have a painting accepted in the PSA Annual “For Pastels Only” Exhibition. Got to mark that off my list on second try. And now, years later, I am a PSA Master Pastelist. This past November, I received a call from Pastel Society of America’s President, Jimmy Wright, asking if I would consider being part of a three member jury for this year’s 42nd PSA Annual Exhibition “Enduring Brilliance”. The other juror members were Duane Wakeham and Aline Ordman, also Master Pastelists. I was sooo honored. I was told that this would consume at least a week of my life. No problem…I had closed my 47-year-old family business last fall and was ready to be an active part of the pastel world… doing something besides standing at my easel. In preparation for my duties, I was able to go online to the demonstration option for SHOWSUBMIT to familiarize myself with the jurying process. Of course, that was nothing compared to the actual viewing of twelve hundred twenty two pieces of artwork produced by five hundred fifty seven artists! It was an amazing experience. For those of you that have been accepted into this year’s exhibition…CONGRATULATIONS! For those of you that were not accepted…DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! There was truthfully some wonderful artwork in those twelve hundred twenty two submittals, and we, the jury, could only pick one hundred eighty paintings. Some suggestions I will make for future show submittals: If you have one strong painting and are considering entering it, along with one or two weaker paintings thinking that your chances will be greater if you have three paintings to be considered…DON’T. Stick with the one strong entry. It affected my opinion of the one strong piece to see weaker work submitted by the same artist. I found myself wondering whether the better painting had been done under supervision. Quorum ELAINE AUGUSTINE (continued) There were even several instances of different techniques being used in each of the three paintings. Again, not a good thing. And, usually, it isn’t a good idea to enter three different genre (landscape, portrait, and still life) in the same show. If you do enter more than one painting, I suggest listing the stronger of the two or three, first…that is the one the juror will see first, giving a better initial impression of your artwork. Be very careful when filling out height and width of your artwork. Don’t fill this out backwards. Also, if the prospectus calls for longest side to be 900 pixels, make sure you assign the 900 pixels to the longest side. Keep good records concerning which paintings have been entered into which shows. Many societies prohibit paintings that have hung in one of their previous shows to be exhibited in one of their subsequent shows. Since we are all capable of blindly falling in love with our paintings, it is helpful if you have an artist friend who will honestly critique your work as to its exhibition quality. And lastly, remember that the first exposure to your artwork could be a 1” x ¾” thumbnail, as it was for this PSA exhibition…therefore, the stronger Monster Medley the composition the better! Composition, Composition, Composition!! MEMBER NEWS LYN ASSELTA, PSA was awarded Best of Show in the First Coast Pastel Society’s Members’ Exhibition for her painting Old Hastings Barn.

  • The Indigenous Tradition in San Miguel De Allende
    The Splendor of Mexico The Indigenous Tradition in San Miguel de Allende Beatriz Cervantes Jáuregui* e c i f f O m s i r u o T e t a t S o t a u j a n a u G Voices of Mexico • 57 e c i f f ocated in what had been the land of O m s i r u the Chichimecs, the city of San Miguel o T e t a t de Allende was founded and populated S o t L a u j in the second half of the sixteenth century. a n a u G Friar Juan de San Miguel had arrived in 1542 accompanied by a group of indigenous people who stayed to continue their mission work. A short time later, the discovery of silver in Zacatecas and Guanajuato initiated growing migration and a road had to be built to move carts full of merchandise, mules, horses and cattle. When the Chichimecs, ancient hunting and gathering peoples who inhabited the region, began to suffer the consequences of the de - s truction by the Spanish and their cattle on their resources, they banded together and began what is known as the War of the Chichimecs. The conflict affected the fledgling town, which was attacked by the Chichimecs and abandoned by its surviving inhabitants. Years later, so the legend goes, Friar Juan de San Mi - guel and his indigenous followers from differ - ent ethnic groups moved the town to a more appropriate place. Their dogs located a gener - ous spring at the foot of which the town of San Miguel el Grande developed.

  • Study of Heritage and Sustainable Tourism
    STUDY OF HERITAGE AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM 0 STUDY OF HERITAGE AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM Table of Contents Introduction 2 Methodology 5 Acronyms 6 Acknowledgements 7 Tourism and World Heritage Conservation 8 Tourism and Environment 26 Promotion of Tourism in World Heritage Cities 31 Cruise Tourism 40 Conclusions 43 1 Introduction The General Secretariat of the OWHC with the support of the National Association of Mexican World Heritage Cities prepared the study "World Heritage and Sustainable Tourism", which will generate trends and recommendations on the subject, which can be useful in the decision-making of the member cities of OWHC. The management of sustainable tourism in a World Heritage site is an issue of universal relevance, due to the importance of its preservation for future generations. We also have to consider that in each city tourism can have a different meaning; while for some destinations it implies an asset, for the communities of others it can represent a threat, due to the displacement that the local population can suffer. In the face of any public policy on tourism, it must be considered that each destination has a different potential and is at a different stage in its life. Thus, well-managed tourism can help local people to value authenticity and promote what is distinctive about their place; it can also be an important vehicle for promoting cultural exchange and for preserving traditional local businesses. It is important to recognize that the uniqueness of World Heritage Cities and their relationship to creative industries is part of the most relevant tourist attraction in these historic cities.

  • The 2017 World's Best Cities in Mexico and Central
    2017 WORLD'S BEST HOTELS CITIES ISLANDS TRANSPORTATION CRUISE LINES VIDEOS + MORE T+L WORLDS BEST The Top 10 Cities in Mexico & Central & South America While countries with top cities ranged from Guatemala to Argentina, our friend just south of the border dominated with five winning urban destinations. Posted July 11, 2017 by Stirling Kelso T+L readers’ passion for traveling to countries throughout Central and South America remains strong, as evidenced by the fact that winning cities can be found in places like Colombia and Peru. But half of this year’s top urban centers were located in one country alone — Mexico — proving that politics and walls aside, our readers love to travel south. Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated cities on their sights and landmarks, culture, cuisine, friendliness, shopping, and overall value. San Miguel de Allende, a city with manicured gardens, colonial architecture, and a vibrant arts scene, stole voters’ hearts this year, earning it the No. 1 slot not only in this regional category, but also on our overall World’s Best Cities list. “San Miguel is Mexico’s reward to those who wander into the interior highlands,” said one reader. “The city has a new cosmopolitan feel that certainly feels welcoming to everyone.” It was joined by another Mexican-interior city, Oaxaca, a destination with an alluring indigenous history and deeply rooted traditions that span from rich heritage foods to beautiful handicrafts.
