Congratulations to Barry Vangrov and Michelle Norris as the recipients of the APG/MOCA Virginia Twinam Smith Print Purchase Awards!
The photos above were selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia. Michelle is a BFA Photography student at the University of Georgia, and Barry is an Atlanta-based photographer specializing in both fine art landscape and architectural photography.
Eligibility for the Print Purchase Award was determined by acceptance into Jane Jackson Selects. This is a new program for APG, and thanks to Virginia, we're happy to announce that the same program will be in place for next year's Selects Show! So keep that in mind when you start mulling over your options for exhibiting during ACP next year!
BUT, in the meantime, we're introducing another award program...
