enrichment, and fostering art education among youth. There is $1,500 in
professional artist awards. Mark Forman, a sculptor, painter and art
educator with 60 years’ experience is the Artist Judge. Criteria for

Patrol” is Saturday, May 20, from 3pm-4pm, in which awards are distributed and
winning artists are personally congratulated. Everyone is welcome to join us
for Prize Patrol – it is lots of fun!
As part of our commitment to include art education in the Asheville
Fine Art Show and the community, a Youth Art Competition is
integrated into the art show. Young
artists in grades K-8 or ages 5-13 were invited to enter his/her original and
personally handmade art. This competition gives budding, young artists a
golden opportunity to begin to learn the rules of being part of a
professional art show and exhibition.
The Youth Art competition is provided with a 10’x20’ space
within the show to display all the Youth Art entries. There is $250
in cash awards provided to four winners, along with a beautiful, colorful two-foot-long
ribbon. Criteria for judging the youth art is technique/execution and
originality, which is similar for judging of the professional artist awards. As
art programs are being dramatically cut and eliminated in
schools nationwide, the need for such initiatives is made even more relevant. On
Sunday, May 21 at 3pm near the “Youth Art Competition” booth, the Youth Art
awards will be announced and presented.
Asheville Fine Art Show is $8 admission; $10 two-day
pass; 13 & under are free. Event hours are Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May
21, from 10am-5pm daily. More info at www.hotworks.org.
