Sondheim Finalists Announced

I didn't make it to the second round of the Sondheim Prize Competition this year, but I can hardly be upset!
I DO get to be in the semi-finalist exhibition at Artscape, and I am outlandishly excited about all of the artists that made the second cut. wow. WOW. Here's the official list:

Becky Alprin, Baltimore, MD
Melissa Dickenson, Baltimore, MD (one of my favorite Baltimore artists)
Dawn Gavin, Baltimore, MD
Geoff Grace, Baltimore, MD (I've seen his mud & whiskey murals)
Maren Hassinger, Baltimore, MD
Molly Springfield, Washington, DC (these are DRAWINGS!?!!!)

Congratulations to the finalists- what a great show this is going to be - opening at the BMA this summer!
