Artist of the Month
Artist of the Month
The Artist of the Month (AoM) is a contest held at each regular
meeting of the guild for the enjoyment of the members. Any member in good
standing may enter a piece of their original art. Every other month we
select a theme and the art entered that month should conform to the theme.
The other months are referred to as "open" and the artist chooses what to bring.
Every person present may cast one vote for the painting she feels is the best
piece of art that portrays the theme if there is one. In order to select a
painting, one should apply their knowledge of composition, color, value and
other elements that constitute good art. When the votes are counted a
first, second and third are announced. If two paintings get the same
number of votes they are both awarded that designation. The first place
winner is allowed to hang that painting for the next month. A first place
earns 5 points toward Artist of the Year. Second gets 3 and third gets 1.
In August the points are totaled and the artist with the most is Artist of the
Year. That person gets a one-person show at a place and time to be selected.
