Photo By: Stephanie Bianco

Starting with this February issue of SAG online, we will publish a photograph or two in each issue through June with these purposes: to stimulate your artistic vibe, and to create a new show. Here’s what we have in mind.

You may interpret the photo artistically in any way you wish, 2D and 3D; realistically or abstractly; in whole or in part; medium of your choice. Even do it two or more ways if you’re inspired! Then, Stephanie Bianco will announce a call for entries via email about July 15th, to create a September show in our community room. You can show any of the work that you have done as it relates to the inspiration photos.

Our members will be the judges in an open vote for prizes in:

1) Crowd Favorite
2) Most Creative
3) Best use of materials

Prizes will be awarded!

If you have an original photograph that you would like to see others interpret please send it to our Newsletter Designer, Reggie Garrett at: reggiedrew@aol.com All the photos used in the challenge will also be on display at the final showing.
