Pictured here is San Pedro Art Association Vice President Steven Magee. Steve, who is a master framer, wowed the young participants of last year’s show by framing their work. As he told us in an earlier interview, the kids came to CRAFTED expecting to see their creations tacked up on a wall someplace, but instead they found…
…this.
At Sunday’s reception, the SPAA will award cash prizes for First, Second, Third and Honorable Mention winners in each of the three school categories. And, you get to vote for a favorite–there will be a People’s Choice award!
Best of all, no one’s going home empty-handed. All participating students receive drawing kits and one-year student memberships to the San Pedro Art Association, which is one of the oldest art associations in Southern California (they’ve been encouraging artists since 1936!).
Admission is free, of course, and who knows–the artists you applaud today, may be the ones in your favorite gallery tomorrow.
The San Pedro Art Association’s artist reception for the 2014 San Pedro All Grades Student Art Competition Exhibition takes place this Sunday afternoon, August 10th, at CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles, at 112 East 22nd Street, Warehouse 10, near Miner. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. Come prepared to applaud very enthusiastically!
