The 61st Stockade Villagers’ Outdoor Art Show [website; Facebook] had to be shortened a bit due to storm warnings, but — after spending about six hours among the art and people, and snapping many photos — it’s easy to conclude that this neighborhood tradition was another enjoyable and successful Stockade event.  Here are almost a hundred images of the winning art, and the exhibits, artists and visitors, along with street scenes in our lovely historic district.

  . . .

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place Winners: John Elliott, Mabel Leon and Steve Kowalski:

.

. .  the Young Artist Awards . .

Anna Torri, Elizabeth Petta and Quinn Guerino

.

 Winners of various special awards: 1. Best Depiction of the Stockade Neighborhood: Linda Kollar; 2. Oakroom Artists: Robin Rosenthal; 3. People’s Choice: DiAnne Tracy; 4. First-time Exhibitor: Cynthia Romano.

Linda Kollar’s winning painting for Best Stockade Depiction:

- 15 N. Ferry St. -

Honorable Mention was given to:

Linda Starr, Frank Gilmore,  Robin Rosenthal, Debbie Park-Boussu, Robert Bootier, and Tim Prendergast.  Examples of their winning work can be found below, along with scores of other photos from often-blustery 61st Stockade Outdoor Art Show.

 The 2012 Outdoor Art Show will surely be remembered for the nagging wind that required constant vigilance to protect the assembled artwork and people.  Jeffrey Bisaillon‘s piece “Coastal Front” is at the head of the paragraph and sets the tone.  Mabel Leon’s hands-on efforts (below) at securing her art is representative of the efforts of many other of the exhibitors:

 Although they are helped by many hard-working volunteers, SVOAS is very much a family affair, and heartfelt thanks go to Connie and Marty Colangelo and Deb and Matt Volk, and all those in the Stockade family who help make the show a success.

There are many family acts among the Art Show exhibitors, too, including:  The Alcevedo father and son; Beth and Elizabeth Petta; Claire and Gale DellaRocco; Emma Boers and her grandmother Sylvie Spradlin; Molly Biggers and mom Linda. [please let me know if I have missed any related exhibitors]
