"The
framed
serigraph "Red Canyons" is a splendid reminder of the stark
beauty of Utah and will make a fine addition to the future Reagan
Presidential Library and Museum."

Subject: IGOR - Announcing the 2010 Award Winners
Dear Artist Members,
We are proud to announce the Award Winners of the
International Guild of Realism’s Fifth Annual Juried
Exhibition at the J. Willott
Gallery, in Palm Desert, California.
As customary during our annual juried exhibitions, we
ask the gallery to award ribbons in different categories to selected Guild
Members for their outstanding artwork. These awards are symbolic marks of
distinction, and as such do not involve any monetary or material prizes—except
for the Editor’s Choice award. The painting and artist who receive this
year’s Editor’s Choice will be featured in an upcoming issue of the American Art
Collector magazine. All award winners will receive their ribbons and an
IGOR certificate by mail.
The International
Guild of Realism congratulates all of the Award Winning Artists!

kits with a new PR text accompanied by the award-winning images to a host of art
publications. This may result in after-show publicity highlights for the
gallery, the artists, and the Guild.
