Award Winners

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.
