Nancy Nicholson has been accepted for the 2009 Smithsonian Craft Show - check out the Nancy Nicholson exhibitor page.
Big news, as it's pretty rare for a stained glass artist to make it into the show. I was in the 2000 Smithsonian Craft show and it was a great experience, and I'm still getting commissions from that show.
Though they have no information on past shows online, my sense is that the Smithsonian Craft show accepts a stained glass artist only once every 2-3 years, at best. It's said that there is always a ratio of something close to 100 to 1 of entries to acceptances. So on top it being great for Nancy, it's also great exposure for stained glass as well.
Kudos and best of luck to Nancy!!
