We always begin sharing art from any juried exhibition with our AWARD WINNERS. Tonight, at the boffo OPENING RECEPTION for UNDER $100, the jury shone a spotlight on eight of our 48 artists, handing out $750 in cash prizes, while singling out artwork that rose above. No mean feat in such a superlative show! Topping everyone and taking home our most coveted prize of all was HOKEY, whose lyrical portrait of jazz and bebop legend Charlie “Bird” Parker, playing his signature King Super 20 alto sax, is perhaps as pure as the best of the master's notes. Below is our full HONOR ROLL, all of whom deserve KUDOS. And if you still happen to be on your way to our festivities at this late hour, definitely keep coming. The party is far from over! (UNDER $100 continues through Friday, December 29.)
