March 25 – April 27
Bette DelVecchio – Mixed Media
Reception April 12, 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Jansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace, 13 E. Main St., Fremont. 231-924-4022.  Bette

states “Like most children, my options for self-expression were limited by the group of adults surrounding me…their rules, their budget, their decisions, their philosophy.  This colored every aspect of my world, particularly my artistic vision. Fortunately, I was quite small, so the challenge of clothing myself in things that fit and that were acceptable opened a door to the wonderful world of second-hand stores.  In them, I could find the raw materials for creating anything I could imagine while spending almost no money.  In retrospect, this was the very beginning of my life as an artist.  Whether it’s reworking used clothing or creating art by throwing a pot, restructuring it and rejoining the pieces or creating a painting, the end result is the same:  an original creation which represents my unique vision, my sense of proportion, my philosophy, and, when I get it “right”, the essence of who I am.”

Our goal is to exhibit and acknowledge the finest photographers in the State of Michigan and encourage greater growth and achievement in the photographic community. This is a juried competition. Selected works will be exhibited and among them will be the honor of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and honorable mentions receiving ribbons and cash awards ($300, $200, $100, $50). The 2013 NCCA Statewide Photography Competition will celebrate with a public reception and awards ceremony on May 4, 2013 at NCCA-Artsplace.

Juror: Lora Robertson
As a Leica Master Photographer, Lora has extensively traveled the world.  She is currently published in Artful Dodge and Leica Fotografie International. As a core collaborator in The Satellite Ballet, she brings a strong visual signature to the project in New York City and workshops in Michigan. She produces images in response to music and choreography, finding inspiration in movement and sound. Her photographic essays examine the reflective nature of spiritual people as a rich source of clues to the interior life in general. She is the Studio Director and Principal Photographer of Livingston Photography, shooting internationally-recognized brands for Wolverine World Wide.
