Awards Winners – 2020 IAA Members Awards Online Show
We’re pleased to announce the winners of the 65th Annual Members Awards Show! 48 members participated and submitted 148 works. To view the virtual gallery, click here.
This year instead of a juror, IAA members voted in an online poll to select the winners. Because of the COVID-19 epidemic, the show was a virtual show instead of a physical installation in our gallery. Thanks to all for their participation!
The top three artists will receive $100 each, and the artist with the most votes will also be offered a free online gallery hosted on our website for a year — as well as a place in our Spotlight Gallery at the IAA Gallery. All the winners will be invited to participate in a video production of the exhibit (contact exhibits@irvingartassociation.org for details).
