Art news of note:
Congrats to BoundlessGallery.com for reaching the $1 million dollar mark in artwork sales last month—it’s a big milestone for them (and the artists they represent) and as longtime supporters of EmptyEasel I’m glad to see they’re doing well.
Also, I was asked to judge a themed art competition at EBSQ last week which you’re more than welcome to check out. EBSQ always has events like this going on and it was a lot of fun being a part of it.
