From John Riepma, Chairperson for Winter Art Festival 2011
I would like to thank everyone who made this event possible.
They are financial contributors who support the cash prize awards,
many Gallery Uptown members who gave of their time and expertise in
helping to put this all together, our juror Michael Martin, and
especially the artists who have submitted their work for critical
review - 134 pieces in all. Without all of these contributions
it would not be possible to put on an event like this and make it
grow year after year. Thank you all for your support of the West
Michigan art community and for helping to make this a successful
show.
