It's almost time! Juried Show opening info and winners

Hey all,

It's been quite a while since we posted, and as you might imagine, that has everything to do with the Juried Show. Though truly a labor of love, it is indeed, quite laborious. What with having to do such inconvenient things such as go to work, we have spent a whole lot of free time planning this thing.

On that note however, I do want to say that there are three people that we never could have done this without, and they are our jurors: Anita Kunz, Greg Swearingen and Josh George. They were so incredibly helpful and fast to boot. I also have a feeling that they may have helped us attract entrants.... Also in that camp are Elizabeth and Libby Meggs, daughter and wife of the late Phillip B. Meggs and our jurors for the Phillip B. Meggs award for excellence in design.

The hardest process for the jurors was choosing the winners, but they narrowed it down to some pieces that completely floor us.

Gold - Barry Bruner (again!?)




Silver - Brooke Olivares




Bronze - Neal Iwan




Phillip B. Meggs award for excellence in Design - Thea Duskin




Congratulations to all of our award winners!

Be sure to join us for the show opening, June 6th (First Friday) from 7pm-10pm at Ghostprint Gallery, 220 w. Broad St. ,Richmond VA 23220.

In the coming weeks look for an article about the show in RVA magazine.
I also realized we never posted a link to the article in Brick about the club, so here it is.
