2024 Members' Juried Show

Competition and Online Show 

The Los Gatos Art Association has a long-held tradition in which LGAA members compete in a juried show. The special award, Peoples Choice Award, provides a vehicle for the members to become the judge. This event was held in an online venue at the Show Submit website.

All the competing artists chose one favorite piece of their own artwork to submit for a judges consideration. All active members were invited to vote online for the Peoples Choice Award. The voting was held by secret ballot in an online survey. 

Prizes awarded: $300 - Best in Show, $200-First Place, $150 - Second Place, $100 - Third Place, $100 - Peoples' Choice and(8) $25 - Honorable Mentions. Ribbons are presented to all winners. In addition, the winning artists are able to add their award and place title to their art resumes.
