In 1976, real estate developer Arthur Rubloff and local artists William and Judie Anderson, all original supporters of the Beverly Arts Center, decided to honor their good friends, Alice and Arthur Baer, by establishing a juried art competition in their name. Each year, the Beverly Arts Center awards over $5000 in prize monies to local and regional artists whose works are selected for exhibition.

The Art Comp 49th selections were juried by Kathy Weaver. Art Comp 49 selections were judged by artists Nat Soti and Ashley January- and I’m very happy to announce that my work, Holding Temporalities, was selected as an honorable mention.

The show is currently on view upstairs in Beverly Arts Center’s Simmerling Gallery.
