"Hickory," a pen, ink and watercolor image produced on paper by noted illustrator Chris Duke (MFA 2003) has been selected as the winning artwork to represent the 136th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show February 13-14, 2012. Special thanks to board member Seán McCarthy for this great opportunity and the exposure it garners our artists!
For the second consecutive year, the contest was sponsored by the New York Academy of Art, which also selected five additional finalists, artists Laura Ellis (CE) Shauna Finn (MFA 2005), Julio Flores (MFA 2009), Debra Goertz (MFA 2000) and Benjamin Martins (MFA 2011). The winning image of the 2011 Best In Show winner will be utilized in a poster and in other club materials to promote the 2012 show.
Thank you to Cadogan Tate, the official art handler of the Academy, for their assistance with this show.
