AUGUST 9, 2024 AROUND TOWN Visual Arts Contest winners announced GROUNDCOVER STAFF On Sunday, August 4 we gathered at the Makeshift Gallery to celebrate the close of the 2024 Groundcover News Visual Arts Contest. We listened to music by Desmond Bratton, Randall McCaleb, Violin Monster and Amanda Gale. The community cast the last votes for their favorite submissions. The popular choice was decided by tallying the 21 online votes and 265 physical ballots. Our panel of judges — composed of Washtenaw County artists Barry Chattillion, T'onna Clemmons, Denali Gere and Ria Daugherty — selected the four juried winners through a consensus process. Thank you to all who engaged with this project over the summer — buying each of the summer issues featuring the submitted artwork, visiting and viewing the work at the downtown AADL or the Makeshift Gallery. Thank you to the donors who made this arts contest possible. And of course, thank you to all the artists who submitted work — it is your creations and talents that made this contest worth doing! If you have any feedback, ideas for next year, or would like to participate in planning the project, reach out to contact@ groundcovernews.com PHOTO PAINTING DRAWING OPEN/MIXED GROUNDCOVER NEWS 7 Juried choice: Hosea Hill Popular choice: Cindy Gere Juried choice: Robbie February Popular choice: Cindy Gere Juried choice: James Manning Popular choice: Philip Spink Juried choice: Robbie February Popular choice: Terri Demar
