The process involved an online edit of over 200 works down to a little over 50. I was impressed by the variety of mediums as well as the creative ideas presented in both two and three dimensional submissions. On November 4, I spent an afternoon at the gallery, choosing the top talent for the awards ceremony that night. It was truly a pleasure to get to see the art in person and then go on to meet some of the artists that evening. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed going through and choosing the awards, as well as how difficult it was! Congratulations to all of the artists who submitted, were accepted and those who won awards. It takes a lot of bravery to put our work out there.
And a bonus: I will be having a solo exhibit at Pablo Center at the Confluence in 2024!
