This year’s entries were some of our best ever. Choices are always tough, and this year was no exception. A huge thanks to all artists who took part, chosen or not. We could not do this without you and your willingness to put your work out there. Thank you.
Below you’ll find chosen work BY SHOW. Make sure you check them all as some artists were in multiple shows.
As you know, we provide our contributing artists two chances to have work physically hung (CGA! $15k May show and our June Salon show). Given the quality of work, we could not fit all the desired work into our June Salon exhibition, so we have expanded to include a July show as well. Please see the details regarding chosen artists and work – by show – below. Congratulations to all that were chosen!
