Gyllerstrom: Collector, Art Consultant, and Owner & Art Director of BearWolf Books. We are deeply grateful for her support and vision in bringing this award to life. We cannot thank her enough, and we are excited to see the incredible entries that will shape this inaugural category. Introducing the Catherine K. Gyllerstrom Imaginative Realism Award.
Glass artist and designer Jessica Murtagh is painfully familiar with the literal and metaphorical cubicle spaces of office life. But she won’t be boxed in.
We have the best intentions every year to close entries on time. But once again we have humbly bowed to your wishes, and are extending the deadline to midnight 31 July [Los Angeles date/time]. Just to give you all a little more time to enter your amazing art and photography.
