CALL for ENTRIES: National Cup Show 2011

I feel left out of the coffee revolution.  I love coffee cake and coffee ice cream, just not the cup o’ joe.  I’m not crazy about the smell of coffee in my house in the morning though.  Clearly, it isn’t genetic.  My mother drinks coffee from sunrise to sunset.  And, she’s always in search of the perfect coffee cup.  She wants one big enough that constant refills aren’t necessary but not so big that the coffee gets cold before you can drink it.  This next Call must be a mecca for the perfect coffee cup, even if it isn’t functional.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Barrett Art Center in Poughkeepsie, NY for the National Cup Show.  Enter up to 3 pieces for $30.  This is a great space and a cool competition…
