  • Max Fishko — Gallery Director for ArtHamptons and the San Francisco Fine Art Fair

The two jurors had their work cut out for them in picking the top 25 entries, with over 280 entries to look through. The jurors truly enjoyed seeing all of the work that was entered into the competition. This event turned out to be great success for the Retreat with 100% of the entry fees directly supporting the agency.
