Art Reception in Belmar


Another annual Jersey Shore Juried Art Show at the Belmar Arts Council, another huge crowd. How many in attendance? No official head count is available, but we estimate somewhere between 200 and 300 came through during the reception. One of the many pieces everyone got to see was my Boardwalk Food woodcut, which turned out to be a prize winner.


The jurors had been asked to choose 5 works to receive awards- a Best in Show and 4 categories. My category was Photography and Graphic Media, which they felt put together such a diverse group of artwork that it called for additional awards. So six works in the show received Honorable Mentions, including mine. No special prize goes with it- just the recognition of the judges and a pretty pale blue ribbon. More photos of award winners and the reception can be found here. Go check out the show in person at the Boatworks, open Wednesdays through Saturdays, 1 to 5 pm, through May 13, 2011.
