TAG Cornwall New Faces Awards, Artist Guild Market
TAG Cornwall was a busy place Saturday,
August 8th as we handed out
$1,000 in cash prizes to area artists
who placed in our NEW FACES Juried
Show!
Rain Kazymerchyk won first place
from our jurors Lorna Foreman and
Ramona MacDonald. Mark Anthony
Watt & Ken Muir were tied for second
place.
Ryan Hill of Akwesasne took the
President's Choice award as well as
some individual category wins, and
Jade Thompson was The People's
Choice!
Some of their work is now for sale in
the TAG Artist Guild Market which
continues in the gallery with original
art for sale for as little as $15 before
the arrival of Aislin!
Wyatt Walsh, President of TAG
Cornwall said, "The focus of our
board is to create a true Arts Economy
in our region. Artists need to earn
money to elevate their careers and
become an attraction for our community.
It's expensive to professionally
practice art. We need our artists to
earn more money."
From September 13 to October 8th
one of Canada's most famous political
cartoonists work will be on display
and for sale as a fundraiser for
the 33 year old public art gallery
whose funding was cut by City Hall.
Terry Mosher (AISLIN) will be in
the gallery on September 19th autographing
and personalizing some of
his work. Books are already on sale
at the gallery!
