The 2007 Art's Alive
Festival of Fine Art

Award Recipients

On June 1 st, 2007, producers of the 2007 Art’s Alive Festival of Fine Art announced three recipients of this year’s festival awards. Each year, Art’s Alive acknowledges artists whose work and professionalism stand out.

“We selected three recipients this year whose work, we feel, deserves a spotlight. Each of these artists is creating contemporary art that both pushes the boundaries of our understanding while maintaining a standard of high quality,” said festival producer Ric Kasini Kadour at the Opening Gala.

The recipients of the 2007 Art’s Alive Festival of Fine Art Award are

Peter Anthony Drasutis of Montpelier,
