Central Kentucky Art Guild
The World As We See It Since 1993
The Artist of the Month (AoM) is a contest held at each regular meeting of the guild for the enjoyment of the members. Any member in good standing may enter a piece of their original art. Every other month we select a theme and the art entered that month should conform to the theme. The other months are referred to as "open" and the artist chooses what to bring. Every person present may cast one vote for the painting they feel is the best piece of art that portrays the theme if there is one. In order to select a painting, one should apply their knowledge of composition, color, value and other elements that constitute good art. When the votes are counted a first, second and third are announced. If two paintings get the same number of votes they are both awarded that designation. The first place winner is allowed to hang that painting for the next month. A first place earns 5 points toward Artist of the Year. Second gets 3 and third gets 1. In August the points are totaled and the artist with the most is Artist of the Year. That person gets a one-person show at a place and time to be selected. LaVerne Arkenburg is the POC for exhibitions.
