Through the Flower is happy to announce the winners of its second juried art competition, and its first for needle and textile arts. On November 6th, Judy Chicago and Laura Addison, Curator of Contemporary Art at the New Mexico Museum of Art, juried a selection of works from over forty artists. They chose fifteen artists to be a part of the group exhibition, and one artist won $500 and a solo exhibition to be held in 2011. We want to thank everyone who applied to this show and congratulate the winners.
