Congratulations to the Winners of our Sticks and Clicks Competition!

From January 7 – 26, 2013, professional and amateur photographers of all ages were invited to visit the historic Sarasota High School site to capture images of the artist at work. We received 462 entries to the Sticks and Clicks Competition and were amazed by the variety and creativity in the submissions we received.
