New Prize Announced for Artists Under 35

Attention! Attention!

For all you burgeoning artists under 35, check out this news article from the NY Times!

http://bit.ly/5I2fPZ

Of course you should read the whole article if you are interested as it is a very sweet opportunity, but for those who like to read the ends of books first:

"Applications can be submitted from Jan. 18 through April 18 at futuregenerationartprize.org. Twenty short-listed artists will be announced on June 22 and receive an exhibition at the Pinchuk Art Center in Kiev. Their works will be posted online and a winner will be announced in December along with up to five runners-up."

ps. For those of you go-getters who click on the link to get to the application, it doesn't become active (as far as I know) until the submission start date of Jan.18. So for now, bookmark it and get to work on that art!

Working directly from a still life set up by the instructor, students will learn how to create loose, expressive interpretations of glass and other transparent surfaces.
