St. Petersburg, FL - April 20 & 21 - Mainsail Art Festival
Dean A. Porter, director emeritus of the University of Notre Dame Snite Museum of Art and himself a painter chose the 50 artists who received the $50,000 in awards. The $10,000 Best in Show award went to painter, Richard Currier.
This is my third time jurying the show," Porter said. "I spent about five hours reviewing the artists on the Mainsail website before I came and started a quality rating from 1 to 10. Very few were below 7. I visited Richard's booth twice and there was such a high quality to every painting.
