In conjunction with Artscape, Baltimore's premier arts festival, the BMA presents a special exhibition of the seven finalists for The Janet & Walter Sondheim Prize, which is organized by the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts. The winner of this year's $25,000 prize is Tony Shore, Baltimore-based artist best known for his large paintings on black velvet. The finalists in the exhibition—Richard Cleaver, Frank Hallam Day, Eric Dyer, Geoff Grace, Baby Martinez, Tony Shore, and Karen Yasinsky—were chosen by an independent panel of jurors: Derrick Adams, New York-based artist; Becky Smith, Owner & Director of Bellwether Gallery in New York; and Robert Storr, Commissioner of the 2007 Venice Biennale, Curator and Dean of the Yale University School of Art.
