Introduction:

Every year Gilbert Visual Artist League (GVAL) hosts its Annual Fine Art Show and sale. It is a juried fine art show, and entries are called a few months before the show.

This year the opening of the show was on 25th February 2023. The show will be up till 4th April 2023.

Participation:

From the entries received, 49 artists were selected, and 100 pieces of art in various art forms were displayed, from oil painting and acrylics to photography.

It was indeed a gorgeous Opening to the show. Many prominent guests and community leaders were present to encourage the artists.

Selection And Award:

The entries opened in December 2022, with the deadline in February. I spent most of my days leading to the February deadline creating images to enter for the juried show.

I settled on three images seen below. To my surprise, all three of them were accepted for the 20th Annual Fine Art Show.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Award:

I won First Place in Photography Category for the entry- The Glow. Getting the Blue Ribbon and placing it near your work is an accomplishment. Days spent crafting an image and getting recognition is a humbling feelings.

I received a comment from one of the jury members for my artwork -The Glow

"If the “Old Masters” had a camera, this is how their art would look. Wonderful use of darks & balance the lights.”

During the show, the most talked about image was of my cat Laaila- Innocence. It was as if she wanted to be part of the show.

Overall it was a wonderful experience and evening. Below are some of the images from the Fine Art Show.
