Trawick Prize Finalists

Here are the finalists for the Trawick Prize:

• Christine Buckton-Tillman (Baltimore, MD)
  
• Caryl Burtner (Richmond, VA)
  
• Eric Dyer (Baltimore, MD)
  
• Suzanna Fields (Richmond, VA)
  
• Adam Fowler (Washington, DC)
  
• Kristin Holder (Washington, DC)
  
• Kirsten Kindler (Richmond, VA)
  
• Maxwell MacKenzie (Washington, DC)
  
• Robert Mellor, Chatham, VA
  
• James Rieck (Baltimore, MD)
  
• Jo Smail (Baltimore, MD)
  
• Molly Springfield (Washington, DC)
  
• Georgianne Stinnett (Richmond, VA)
  
• Jason Zimmerman (Washington, DC)

You heard it here first. Top prize is $10K, with smaller prizes following, including one for an artist born after April 10, 1976. The award ceremony is scheduled for September 6, and if the District survives this week's deluge it will be a date to save. I recognize Christine Buckton-Tillman and Jason Zimmerman from the 2005 finalist round, and in fact I'm surprised there aren't more returning finalists, given how strong last year's crop was, but then some of those artists didn't appear in this year's semifinals round—so who knows. More fine print: this year's jurors are Ashley Kistler (director of exhibitions, Visual Arts Center of Richmond); Jack Rasmussen (director and curator, American University Museum, Katzen Arts Center); and Gerald Ross (director of exhibitions, Maryland Institute College of Art).

Time permitting, I'll get hyperlinky with that list so that you can browse at your leisure.
