APAC’s Virtual Art Show Winner
Posted July 26th 2021
The Avalon Performing Arts Council is hosting its annual Art Show & Sale for 2021, with the return of the virtual display that was launched in 2020 due to COVID. The virtual art show features original art from more than 30 local artists in categories of oil and acrylic, watercolor, mixed media, and photography.
The show is juried and this year was judged by Amie Potsic, the CEO and principal curator of Amie Potsic Art Advisory, LLC. The virtual show went live on July 15, with the winners in each category posted. Visitors to the site can click on each individual piece of art, and connect directly with the artist for purchase.
“APAC is excited to launch our second Juried Virtual Art Show and Sale, featuring 31 local artists and their original works of art,” said Ramona Sanabria. “The virtual show is unique in that it gives art enthusiasts from any location the ability to connect directly with our artists and work with them for purchase and customized orders. While we hope to return to in-person for 2022, we are happy with the success of the virtual version and a successful showcase of talented artists.”
The 2021 Best in Show winner was “New Day” by Denise Jackson, which also won in the oil painting category. The other winners: Linette Childs’ “Glisten” (acrylic on paper); Peter Ehlinger’s “Feather Profusion” (watercolor); Maggi Collins’ “Quiet Formation” (mixed media); Bruce Murray’s “Boxer Bill” (photography).
The show will be on display with pieces available for purchase through Sept. 30 at avalonperformingarts.org.
