Marian Fortunati - Event - ART KUDOS International Online Juried Exhibition

On behalf of Artshow.com, I want to thank you for responding to our call to artists and submitting images of your work for consideration for the 2009 Art Kudos International Exhibition. Your participation is very much appreciated as it helps to ensure a diverse body of work from which selections can be made.

I am pleased to inform you that your work was selected for inclusion in the 2009 online exhibition. Narrowing selections from the incredible variety and quality of entries proved to be a daunting task. Originality and artistic quality were the main, but not the sole criteria, used to select the final works for the exhibition. Other factors, such as the clarity of the images provided and their ability to be viewed online, also contributed to our decision. Moreover, we tried to include a variety of media, subjects, and artistic styles. From the 1,176 works of art submitted, a total of 140 outstanding works of art were chosen for the exhibition.

Please visit www.artkudos.com on August 15th to view the selected finalists and award winners. Countries represented in the show include: Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, and the United States.

This year's award selections will be made by Scott Canty, Senior Curator for the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and Director of Exhibitions at the Palos Verdes Art Center.
Thank you again for allowing us to consider your work for the exhibition. We wish you continuing success in your artistic endeavors.

Sincerely,
Robert Anderson
Director
