I was the one of the recipient of this award this past weekend. Their website says it best…
“All our artists have already won simply by jurying in to this prestigious Festival, but each year we go one step farther and award four exhibiting artists a Special Recognition Award. The award comes with a $500 check and automatic entry into next year's Festival.”
The award winners are selected by a panel of three highly qualified judges, each of whom rates each artist independently and then gathers for a spirited discussion. The four awards are presented at a charming artists' reception on the first night of the Festival.”
It was a great festival as always other than the fact it rained the second day and pretty much shut it down on Sunday. Three years of drought and it has to rain that one day!
