This year's 16th annual Summer Art Market announces best of show, Sara Sisun

Summer Art Market provides artists with an opportunity to showcase and sell their work directly to the public. This event assists in supporting the local art community and the Art Students League of Denver alike.

Awards were presented to artists showcasing talent in a variety of categories. "Best of Show" was presented to Sara Sisun, for her brilliant display.

"I can't thank the League enough for the encouragement, the classes, everything. It's been a huge part of my life since I was about six years old." Currently Sisun is a studio art major at Stanford University. "It's so nice to know that the League is still there for me, because it has been all along."

Sisun's history at the Art Students League was fundamental to her growth as an artist.

"Winning best of show means a lot to me as I am hoping to be a professional painter, and winning the award was encouraging. I believe that my painting improves when I am more confident, as I am more willing to push ideas or techniques." Sisun's work is often non traditional and is proud about receiving recognition for thinking outside the box.

Emilio Lobato, a member of the Board of Directors, was a facilitator to the judges of the event and privy to their discussion.

"I was struck at how quickly and decisively they came to a conclusion about Sara. For about 30 seconds before the official tallying began, the judges were quick to discover that their over-all favorite was Sara. Regardless of her age, they considered her the best."

Additional award winners include:

Mastery of Media
Ron Zito

Interpretation of Concept
Deborah Jang

Best Emerging Artist
Laura Bigger

Henry Meininger Award
Clyde Steadman

Established in 1987, The Art Students League of Denver is an inclusive and inspiring art school and community where students of all abilities are guided by professional artists to reach their highest potential.
