HotWorks.org 4th Annual Boca Raton Fine Art Show™
January 19 & 20, 2013 - downtown Boca on Federal Highway at Palmetto Park Road
Congratulations Budding Artist Winners!
Dear Friend of the Boca Raton Fine Art Show™:
As part of our commitment to include art education in the HotWorks.org Boca Raton Fine Art Show™ and the Palm Beach County community as a whole, a Budding Artists art competition for grades 6-12 or ages 9-19 is given prime space within the show. Sponsored by Institute for the Arts & Education, Inc., Hot Works' associated 501c3 non-profit organization, young artists were encouraged to create their original and personally handmade art as they began to learn the rules and requirements of being part of a professional art show and exhibition. Art programs are being dramatically cut back and eliminated in schools nationwide, thereby further underscoring the need for such initiatives. Not only was all the art work publicly displayed, there were four Budding Artist prizes totaling $250: $100 Best Budding Artist; and three $50 Budding Artist Art Awards of Excellence. Budding artists were judged by professional artist Paula Mae Green, who based the awards on originality and technique/execution. The program encourages budding artists to speak with the professional artists in the show, and to ask them questions about participating in art shows as a career. The show provides these students with an unmatched learning experience. The program was a huge success. Below and attached please find the award winners.
- All entries must be original and unaided by other people.
- Art work medium acceptance categories include painting, clay, fiber, jewelry, glass, wood, print making, photography, mixed media, sculpture, metal, drawing, digital or other.
