ART CRITICS WANTED!

Create:Fixate’s newest original program, “Best in Show” allows our patrons to rate their top-three favorite artists at each event- bringing out the art critic in just about anyone! Patrons can pick up their ballot at the entrance or at art sales and then explore the gallery hunting down their favorites!

The top three artists voted best in show will be awarded prizes from participating sponsors which support the artist’s creative endeavors! Also, at the same time, patrons will be entered into a drawing to win prizes too! What a great win/win situation!

A very special thank you to the following “Best in Show” Sponsors from our December event “Infinity” : DeviantArt, MOCA, Castelli Framing, and  Blick Art Supplies. The top three artists voted with the most popular-appeal will receive gift certificates from these companies.

The “Best in Show” winners from “Infinity” on December 5, 2009 are:

First Place: Michelle Nielsen
Second Place: Greg Boudreau
Third Place: Dave Lovejoy

We would also like to congratulate the following patrons:

A Meal for two at Royal Clayton’s goes to: Sarah Hamann
