Bainbridge Art Show closes with awards
BAINBRIDGE – The Jericho Arts Council’s Annual Fine Arts Show ended on May 14 with a closing reception. This year’s show featured 109 works by 53 artists, and was on display in Bainbridge’s Town Hall Theater and Gallery for one spectacular week. Visitors to the show expressed their delight at the beauty of the show, and the quality of the works on exhibit. Over $1,000 in award money was distributed to winning artists in four categories. Three special awards, Best of Show, People’s Choice, and the Tennant Award, were also presented. Judges for this year’s show were Orazio Salati of Binghamton and Wayne Claypatch of Owego.
The Best of Show award was presented to Walton artist Ty Steinbacher for his painting, “Birth of the Union.” This same painting also won the People’s Choice award, a prize based on votes by visitors to the art show throughout the week.
Another painting by Steinbacher, entitled “Monica,” won the Tennant Award for realism. This award is given in honor of Daniel Tennant, a long time Bainbridge artist, art educator and supporter of the Jericho Arts Council’s Annual Fine Arts Show.
First Place in the Oil and Acrylic Category was awarded to “Snow Motion” by Bainbridge artist William Kokoni. The painting, says Kokoni, was inspired by the wooded areas of Chenango County during this February’s snow falls. Second Place in this category went to the painting “Mother and Child” by Aksel Sand Pedersen of Deposit. Third Place was awarded to “Heaven on Earth,” by Lori Wilson of New Berlin. Honorable Mention was given to “Self Portrait in Nuclear Red” by Rachel DeVona of Afton.
First Place in the Watercolor and Gouache Category was presented to “Hush Hour,” a watercolor by Celia Clark of Delhi. Second Place in this category was awarded to “Siren of the Rocks,” a painting done in gouache by Afton artist Scott Higby. Third Place went to “At Home in New York,” a watercolor by Carolyn Neidlinger of Bainbridge. Honorable Mention was presented to Marian Simpson for her watercolor, “Ready to Go.”
In the Drawing and Graphics Category, the First Place Award was presented to “Staring” by Norwich artist Rick Marchant. Visitors to the show, like the judges, were impressed by this stunning pencil drawing of a cow, staring straight ahead at the viewer.

Honorable Mention was awarded to the pen and ink work entitled “Tree of Life,” by Scott Higby.
