Text Message: a teen art exhibit at Annmarie Garden
Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Annmarie Garden) in Solomons, Maryland, announces juror and merit awards for seven (7) teen recipients from the 2013 Text Message: a teen art exhibit.
The opening night was held on Friday, March 15, 5:00 – 8:00 pm and was attended by over 100 guests, who delighted in art, great music, and delicious food provided by the following local businesses: Moe’s, Giant, Papa Johns, and Chick-fil-A! Selected works in this teen exhibit include paintings, drawings, photographs, sculpture, and video from 54 young and upcoming artists, all of which are on display in the Mezzanine Gallery at Annmarie Garden.
A panel of judges chose the final art pieces and took into account the artist’s statement, artistic merit, the text/message of the work, and the Facebook likes/comments when selecting. Eighty-three (83) pieces of art were submitted in total and are available for viewing via the Text Message: a teen art exhibit Facebook page.
Annmarie Garden congratulates the following award recipients:
