Congratulations to the winners of our annual Holiday Gallery Competition!

First Place: Jim Johnson

Second Place: Marty Klar

Third Place: Bob MacDonald

Two Honorable Mentions: Todd Darling and Wes DeVries

It is interesting to note that each of these pieces is in a different medium, showing the variety of talents at GVA and our own appreciation of those talents, be they watercolor, photography, oil, pastel, or acrylic (in order of winners above). The show also included some wonderful 3D works.

For the artist who has (almost) everything! For only $40, you can prepay a year’s GVA membership for a deserving artist and gift it—along with art supplies, if you’re feeling really generous. It’s like ordering flowers, only better: A certificate including the sender’s name will be customized with your personal message and mailed according to your instructions. The lucky recipient may use the certificate immediately and thereby be a member through August 31 or wait to activate the membership on September 1, 2019.
