Post 387: People's Choice Winners of For Those That Serve

People's Choice Winners

Everyone wants to know whose artwork was selected as first, second and third at Open Space Arts, right? Visitors come to the gallery and enjoy all of the local artists on display, and vote their favorite artworks and we announce them here for all the world to see.

For Those That Serve

These are the final days of the art show at Open Space Arts (OSA) at Stonebridge, as the "For Those That Serve" show closes Sunday, August 20, 2023. Before we show the winners, lets see a few pictures from around the gallery...

 

Art prints are available from many of the artists, and visitors enjoy supporting the artists of Prince William County - whether purchasing as a print or the original artwork.

 

So many things to see at OSA - from fine art, jewelry, and more

 

And meet the artists that man, or woman the gallery, as volunteers. Say hello to Evelyn when you see her!

 

Original artwork and handmade gifts are great ways to not only support the arts and decorate your own homes, but also are interesting ways to gift your friends and family and those that are "hard to buy for".

 

Have you been to the gallery lately? The art shows change out approximately monthly, so the art is always changing and varied.

 Well, I suppose I should show you the People's Choice Winners of the ribbons for this month. Drum roll please...

In third place, the people chose PWAS member Sandra McClelland Lewin's "In Memory of"

In second place, the people voted and selected, PWAS member Donna Liguria's (me!! Wooohooo, go me! - ok settle down...) "Washington Monument Cherry Blossoms"

And in first place, Mandy Powell's painting "Last Salute" was chosen as the Open Space Arts gallery visitor's favorite artwork.

Congratulations to everyone!

As many of us do in these summer-time months, we head out for vacations, and I did too. I don't have the pictures and the order of the winning People's Choice winners for the Pride show that ran between June and July 2023.
