SEPTEMBER, 2008: MURRYSVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY: Selected photographs by Bob Bickers were on exhibit at the East Suburban Artists League's new permanent display throughout the month of September at the Murrysville Public Library in the Murrysville, PA Municipal Building on Sardis Road.

I am happy to announce that I have been screened, accepted and have in fact joined the Pittsburgh Society of Artists (PSA). I hope my involvement with this group will help me grow as an artist and provide more opportunities to bring my art to the public. On a similar note, my attempt to join the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh (AAP) a few weeks later was not successful, but it was my first attempt and I may try again. It did take two attempts to be accepted by PSA. Click on the icon at left to go to the PSA web site.

JUDGE BOB: Served as the judge for the 2009 Community Arts and Activities Center (CAAC) Juried Art Exhibition, NOVEMBER 7-29, 2009 in Jeannette, Pennsylvania.

JUDGE BOB: I was asked, and I was glad to serve, as one of two jurors who, on MAY 2, 2009, reviewed and selected artists that were invited to hold exhibitions at the Gallery Space (at the Monroeville, PA public library) in 2009, 2010 and 2011. It was truly an honor to serve in this capacity and provide me with valuable insight into the selection process. --Bob Bickers

JUDGE BOB: I had the privilege to serve as the judge of the Norwin Art League's Annual Members' Art Show at Monroeville Mall on SEPTEMBER 11, 2008. This was truly a large and very professional, well-organized exhibition. The large number of categories and awards to decide was daunting, but I enjoyed the experience and the opportunity to see so much fine art and to meet many of the artists too. This was an honor I would love to repeat.

JUDGE BOB: I was asked by the organizers of this year's Annual Art and Science Fair at Heritage Elementary School (K-5th grade) in Murrysville, PA, to participate as a judge on MARCH 31, 2009. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience this time as I have the last five years. --Bob Bickers
