Hi everyone, thanks for letting me be a part of your group! I'm getting ready to apply to Inman Park Arts Festival in Atlanta and am not sure what category I should apply to. My pieces often include vintage items, boxes and elements from nature and are sealed in a thick epoxy resin. But, there is usually a digital element/collage. Pieces are 1 of a kind or in limited editions of 5. Should I enter as mixed media or digital art? Or is there a mixed media digital collage category at some shows??
Looking forward to participating in festivals and getting to know the group!
Thanks!
Cheryl Beverly

I'd go with mixed media. Once you start sticking eggshells and other 3d objects in, calling it digital is stretching things a bit. Assemblage is probably a better word, but that's never one of the categories. Collage is rarely a category either. Can't go wrong with mixed media.
Cheryl, welcome to AFI. You may get better answers if instead of putting your images up as attachments you put the image into your post. Here is a link that will tell you how to do that: http://www.artfairinsiders.com/page/start-discussion-or-post

Thanks Connie, will do.
Hi Cheryl and welcome aboard :) I will leave advice to someone Stateside who will give you more accurate info than I'm likely to give from Downunder!
Thanks Annette!
