On Sunday, Feb. 7, The Art Guild of 200 Port Washington Blvd. held a juried art competition and exhibition reception “Go Figure”.
Whether inspired by models, real-life situations, or imaginative realms, we sought artworks that conveyed the intricate interplay between beauty, strength, and vulnerability inherent in the human body.
All mediums were welcome, including drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media.
Of the hundreds of pieces of art that were submitted, less than half were accepted.
In first place was “On A Journey” by Steven Silberstein. Second place went to “Until” by Lorraine Miller. Third place went to “Broken Promises” by Veronica Schliemann. Honorable Mentions were “Moon Over 5th Ave” by Kathleen Gerlach, “Rest” by Baruch May, “Figures” by Tessa McCain.
The Art Guild thanked all the artists who submitted their work, along with those who attended the “Go Figure” reception and awards ceremony. The gallery is open to view weekends from 1 pm-4 pm.
The Art Guild also thanked the Juror of the Awards, Costa Vavagiakis who presented the awards.
Our next juried competition and exhibition is “Power of Nature”. We’re asking artists to capture the essence of nature’s majesty in their chosen medium- whether it be painting, sculpture, mixed media, or beyond (photography not included).
The exhibition reception will be held Thursday, May 16, 6 pm-8 pm, and will be juried by Frederic Mendelsohn.
