Thanks Dalton Gallery and the exhibition jurors for selecting my piece “Old Friend” for a Juror’s Choice award!
“The Dalton Gallery of Agnes Scott College presented a juried exhibition of work by young emerging artists from the Atlanta area in partnership with the Decatur Arts Alliance. &yet sought to connect and foster conversations among young artists from communities around Atlanta. Thanks to our partnership with the Decatur Arts Alliance we were able to offer a free application in an effort to create an accessible opportunity for young emerging artists from the area to experience the valuable processes of a working artist. Thanks to the James T and Ella Rather Kirk Fund we were able to award $3000 in prizes to six artists in the exhibition as selected by the Jurors and Faculty Members. Juror Pick awards were given to Melissa Huang, Benjamin Hunsinger, Celeste Nelson, and Yasha Panchal. Professors Pick awards were given to Devin Morrison and Kama Pellani. You can find the exhibition catalog here.”
