Recognize An artist Of The Month With A Photo On Canvas
Using a specialized service to transfer a photo to canvas can illuminate an exceptional image. Local art galleries can utilize this service to showcase a different photo every month to encourage involvement in their communities.
One concept that could prove to be mutually beneficial is the idea of having an “artist of the month” competition. Gallery owners could receive original works from local photographers and choose a winning image to display in their gallery each month. To highlight the winning image it could be converted to a photo on canvas and enlarged.
Many people may be unaware that The US National Gallery of Art was created in 1937 by a joint resolution of Congress, accepting the gift of financier and art collector Andrew W. Mellon. Mr. Mellon began collecting art, with the intention of forming a gallery of art in Washington DC for the nation, in the 1920s. President Franklin D. Roosevelt accepted the completed building and the collections on behalf of the people of the United States of America in 1941. Mellon’s hope was that his display of charity would attract the works of great artists and collectors over the years.
