Award Winners of the 85th Annual National Juried Art Exhibit

Award Winners from the Cooperstown Art Association's
85th Annual National Juried Art Exhibition!
Follow the Link to See Their Work in the National!
The Exhibition will be Online through August 14th!
As we were unable to hold our usual Opening Reception and Awards Ceremony this year, we would like to take a moment to celebrate the Award Winners from the 2020 National Juried Art Exhibition!

Twenty awards were given out this year, with the Grand Prize being awarded to Doug Whitfield, of Clayville, NY, for his painting "Triple Goddess."
 
Speaking of his work, Doug has the following statement to share: "Today, awards and honors are not the reason I paint and no measure of my work's value. The real significance of my work is the utter joy and emotion it brings to my patrons..."
