Trawick Prize

I am thrilled to see and pleased to announce that Warren Craghead is one of the 53 semi-finalists for this year’s Trawick Prize: Bethesda Contemporary Art Award. Warren will be exhibiting his quixotic and fearless drawings at Migration in January 2009.

2008 marks the 6^th annual Trawick Prize. Over 350 artists from Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. submitted artwork to the competition. Up to 15 artists will be invited to display their work from September 2-27 in downtown Bethesda at Heineman Myers Contemporary Art. The top four winners will be awarded a total of $14,000 in prize monies making this visual art competition one of the largest in the nation.

Former Second Street Gallery director, Leah Stoddard, is one of the three jurors for the competition. Leah has always had a sharp eye for talented artists and their evocative work. No doubt worthy winners will be selected.

Another Migration favorite, Susan Jamison, is also a semi-finalist. Good luck to both Warren and Susan.

The semi-finalists have been whittled down to less than 14 people; so Warren is now actually a Finalist for the prize.
