This year’s larger prize purse — thanks in part to Northeast Bank’s generous contribution — brought out a wonderful and competitive array of images, both photography and other art mediums. We are thrilled to celebrate the neighborhoods and artists through these images, and highlighted the arts components of each neighborhood in their descriptions.
Award-winning artist Kevin Cannon gave the month pages a sleek new design, and we chose a matte paper stock which is more environmentally-friendly (no clay additives). We are thrilled to use Bolger, a local arts-friendly printing company and save the environmental cost of shipping.
