Filed under Editor Blogs, The Arts

"Wash Day II" is part of the SPBOM II show.

The Sunday Morning Art and Coffee Club art group plans to host a second SPBOM (an acronym for the actual title Shoes, Panties, Bras- Oh My!) show during the Denison Spring Fine Art Tour at the Freshlight Gallery & Studio inside the Katy Depot in Denison.  An opening reception will be held at 6:30 pm on Saturday, March 27. All are invited to attend.

The first SPBOM show was the brainchild of Steve Black and SMAACC artists several years back as a way to explore the aesthetics of  clothing, accessories, and unmentionables. The show touched on various topics related to the theme such as consumer culture, beauty, and sensuality with a fresh and humorous viewpoint.  SPBOM II:The Return won’t disappoint those interested in creative interpretations of the aforementioned. Expect to see work in all mediums ranging from tame to extreme.

For more information about SPBOM II: The Return, visit the Sunday Morning Art and Coffee Club website at www.smaacc.com or call Steve O. Black at (903) 463-8662.

The Friends of Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge are sponsoring the 1st Annual HWR Photography Contest.  The goal of the contest is to increase awareness and appreciation of the refuge, as well as recognize wildlife photographers.  Cash prizes will be awarded in six categories and ribbons will be issued for Best of Show and 1st through 3rd place winners.  Winning photos will be displayed at the Refuge Visitors Center and on-line on the Friends of HWR website.

Entries are being accepted until March 1, 2010.  The contest is open to all photographers with the stipulation that all images submitted must have been taken within the boundaries of the Refuge.  There are no restrictions regarding the date the image was captured, so older photos are still eligible for entry.
