Aside from cash prizes, other awards include participation in the collective exhibition, magazine profiles, valuable PR opportunities and an honorable mention and a complimentary entry to the 34th Chelsea International Fine Art Competition (Feb. 2019). A portion of the gallery’s proceeds from artwork sales will be donated to the Children’s Heart Foundation.
“Before entering the gallery, I experienced an OMG! moment, when I saw that one of my works was selected for the outdoor display poster. Once inside, my feelings were a little vague at first. Even standing there, in the space, I was still trying to absorb the fact that my artwork was being exhibited in a New York gallery. Then I felt honored, humbled, and delighted, all at the same time. I was very impressed with the thoughtfulness in which the work was displayed. The whole show looked great!.”
