Andrew Verhoeckx stole First place for his captivating painting entitled “Heading Home” and Bob Craig received First place in the Mixed / 3D Media category for “Fabric City 2” a kaleidoscopic interplay.

All artists executed intuitive responses to contrast both movement and stillness of Industrial sprawl also the bereavement and nostalgia of developing real estate. Cityscapes competition works evolved as nods to dwelling places, advancement, and the circuitous movement of intentional life.
