Congratulations to the People’s Choice Juried Show winners!

People’s Choice Voting Winners are in - and it’s a tie!! This has never happened before! All submissions from the SEABA Art Hop Juried Show were live for People’s Choice Voting during Art Hop weekend, regardless if the Juror selected the works to be shown in person. You voted from 100+ pieces and you picked two artists with completely different content and mediums…and they got the same amount of votes!

We’re honoring the cash prize to both Kristina Pentek and Lindsey Centracchio and offering them both the opportunity to showcase an expanded series of work in the Art Hop Juried Show Winners Exhibition this December at The Vaults!

Seven Days features STRUT!
Kristen Eaton Kristen Eaton

Seven Days features STRUT!

“ Like many of the pieces hitting the runway this year, STRUT! has been upcycled. Organizers have taken the most beloved elements of the old event, which ran from 2006 through 2019 as part of the South End Art Hop, and fashioned them into something new.
“Most noticeably, they've separated it from Art Hop, their 31-year-old, wildly popular September weekend festival, to make STRUT! a stand-alone event in the spring,” reported Seven Days.
