2012 Artist of the Year

An opportunity for artists to gather recognition (and award) for participation in the display of (2) of their latest art creations at the monthly meetings, Artist of the Year is typically juried by the evening's artist speaker of the month. At year's end, accumulated points determine a cash award for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. There are sometimes additional themed art award nights sponsored by the most prolific VFAA founder and friend, Suzanne Haskew. See Links/Partners for more artist information.
