CONGRATULATIONS
to the winners, and to all 30 participating artists who made this the best show in the event's 8-year history!


“Too often we allow the humdrum reality of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel frivolous by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of a diversion from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time for consuming and producing art — the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments —you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier.”
 
Arthur C. Brooks
Art Should Be a Habit, Not a Luxury
