Awards & Recognition

Our show is not a curated or juried show (meaning we don't limit entries to only certain artists or only show specific pieces).  All Orange Easel artists are invited to exhibit and THEY can choose the artwork that that want to share. 

Our show is a JUDGED show, meaning we do give our awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in each category as well as a Best in Show award.

NOTE: There will not be an awards presentation.  Ribbons will already be displayed next to the art when the show opens.  Certificates will be available for pick up at the show.
