Final thoughts on the National Juried Exhibition

After full days of accepting works, hanging the show and meeting with Andy to select his awards, we're happy to announce that the first Steenbock National Juried Exhibition is open, and is gorgeous. We could not be prouder of the work presented here, by photographers from near and far, or of the decisions that Andy made in selecting both the overall exhibit and his awards.

And speaking of awards:

FIRST PLACE
 ($500 and a 2012 solo exhibit at the Steenbock)
Nate Mathews

SECOND PLACE
($250)
Carsten Meier

THIRD PLACE
($100)
Kate Wichlinski

We truly hope to see you at the opening this Friday, March 4 from 6-9pm, and hope you have a chance to spend time with the exhibition outside of the melee of an opening reception.  The work is strong and contemporary, and is an incredibly strong showing for our first National foray.  Thank you so much for supporting the gallery through your entry and your patronage, and the Center for Photography at Madison, and we hope to see more of your work in the future.
