For the past several years the Artist Choice Award has been a $5,000 award, which is the same prize value as our grand prize. Unfortunately sponsor who supported this award notified us that they would be unable to underwrite this large award this year. Instead of lowering the amount or eliminating the Artist Choice Award we have decided to reach out to our art loving community to support the award and demonstrate just how committed our community is to the arts.
While all of the 58 competing artists will still vote for the winner of the Artist Choice Award on Friday prior to the Collectors Party, we will not announce the winner or the total prize amount until Sunday after the Judges Talk and Small Painting Sunday Awards. We will work throughout the festival to pass the hat and raise directed funds to support this prize and anyone will have the opportunity to contribute. It will be exciting to see this community’s generosity and love of arts first hand and it will be an exciting conclusion to some artist’s time in Easton.
