Congratulations

To our buddy Jerry Siegel, a wonderful photographer and friend to the Georgia Museum of Art (that's his photo above of Beverly Buchanan, one in a series of photographs of artists), who just received an Artadia Award for Atlanta at the $15,000 level. The Artadia Awards are new to the area. Three internationally prominent jurors--Jeffrey Grove (Wieland Family Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art, High Museum of Art, Atlanta), Clara Kim (Gallery Director and Curator, REDCAT, Los Angeles) and Hamza Walker (Associate Curator and Director of Education, The Renaissance Society, Chicago)--conducted studio visits with 15 short-listed artists drawn from nearly 300 applicants throughout greater Atlanta (23-county area). We send Jerry our heartiest congratulations.
