‘Best New Artist’ Award at Calgary Stampede

‘Best New Artist’ Award at Calgary Stampede

Every year at the Calgary Stampede Western Art Show they judge all the art on display.  Any artists exhibiting for the first time fall under the ‘New Artist’ category; this year there was 12.  Out of those new artists Mike won the award for the best new artist!  With it came a flashy new buckle, show ribbon & certificate.  The judges primary comments were how ‘new’, ‘exciting’, ‘different’ & ‘very creative’ Mike’s work was.
