These annual awards, presented by the New Haven Paint and Clay Club, are named for the late watercolor painter, long time NHP&CC Board member. It was while "Betty" Greeley served as curator of the John Slade Ely House that she established an annual exhibit of art by New Haven area high school students, a tradition that continued for many years.
This year’s exhibition was a great success with an amazing collection of works in all types of media. 375 pieces were submitted by 181 artists from all over New England and New York. Eighty works were accepted.
The work of three students was also accepted into this juried exhibition, Siul Rivera, Madeleine Moyn and Ilya Bhandary-Alexander.
We want to congratulate all the award winners and all that were accepted into this exhibition.
