Jerry's Artarama Austin congratulates our winners and all who participated! Participating schools this year were the Khabele School, the Ann Richards School, O'Henry Middle School, Deer Park Middle School, Fulmore Middle School and the Girls' School of Austin.

Judging was a difficult process, with almost 200 entries in categories of drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and mixed media. Works were judged for mastery of technique, composition, and visual statement.

This year's judges were Valérie Chaussonnet, Director/art teacher at La Petit Provence and professional welder/sculptor; Terrence Moline, abstract expressionist painter, illustrator and designer; Denise Prince, video/performance artist, photographer and painter; and Elizabeth Chapin, working portrait painter.
