Trawick Prize winners
I reported earlier about this year’s Trawick Prize and its Charlottesville connections: Former 2nd Street Gallery director, Leah Stoddard, was one of the three jurors, and Cville’s fantabulous artist Warren Craghead was one of the 14 finalists.
Yesterday the winners were announced. Maggie Michael from Washington, D.C. was awarded "Best in Show" with $10,000; Dan Steinhilber of Washington, D.C. was named second place and was given $2,000; Bernhard Hildebrandt of Baltimore, MD was bestowed third place and received $1,000; and the "Young Artist" award of $1,000 was given to Ryan Browning of Mount Airy, MD. Congrats to all.
The 14 finalists’ work is currently exhibited at the Heineman Myers Gallery in Bethesda, MD. The show looks terrific. Get a sampling of everyone’s art here.
Sorry you didn't win, Warren. But glad you sold a piece. I'm also happy to see you are getting some practice at drawing on walls.
