“Calling on Special Places"

We accepted 36 open-entry online submissions for this exhibition through May 14. Th exhibit looks great with lots of super interesting variety. Thoughtful notions accompany most of the entries.

74 people voted online for favorite selections in four categories:

• most sublime and spiritually moving
• most technically and artistically accomplished
• most reassuring and full of hope
• most ambitious and imaginative

Last day for online voting was May 23, 2021, the top online vote-winner in the four combined categories was Seb Bak's moku-hanga print "Above the Clouds". We have the online exhibit organized in order of total vote count results with Seb's print appearing first.

Real-life voting begins June 4 with paper ballots and wraps up on June 12 ahead of an awards ceremony that is online using the Zoom platform on June 13 at 5 pm.
