Final Art-O-Matic Top 10 Artists List
Happy 2005!
As most of you know, during the recent Artomatic exhibition, I received quite a few lists by artists, gallery owners, curators, and art critics.
These lists detailed their "picks" as the most notable artists (in their view) of DC's giant Artlovefest. Since the lists came out, six area galleries have already scheduled exhibitions (and some of them already on exhibit), and there are more coming in 2005 for many more Artomatic artists, based in part from these lists.
I had also promised to gather a list of the top 10 Artomatic artists who appeared the most in all the lists submitted to me. I recorded all the artists and the number of times that his or her name appeared on the lists.
Provided that the logistics are worked out, these artists in the final list will be invited to exhibit their work by a gallery in Canada.
The lists were sent in by:
JS Adams
James W. Bailey
Marilyn Banner
Philip Barlow
F. Lennox Campello
Kriston Capps
Jesse Cohen
Jean Lawlor Cohen
Leigh Conner
Sarah Finlay & Patrick Murcia
Anne C. Fisher
Faith Flanagan
Catriona Fraser
Rob Goodspeed
Pat Goslee
Elyse Harrison
Kristen Hileman
Matt Hollis
Milena Kalinovska
Nevin Kelly
J.T. Kirkland
Angela Kleis
Natalie Koss
Anne Marchand
Adrianne Mills
Michael O'Sullivan
Fred Ognibene
Donna Robusto
Claudia Rousseau
Tim Tate
Krystyna Wasserman
And here is the final Top 10ish List (in order of number of appearances in the above lists).
1. Linda Hesh
2. Kelly Towles
3. Kathryn Cornelius
4. Chris Edmunds
5. Tim Tate
6. Thomas Edwards
7. Syl Mathis
8-10. Dylan Scholinski
Ira Tattelman
Joyce Zipperer
Allison B. Miner
Amy Martin Wilber
Some clarifications: Hesh and Towles had the same number of mentions by the list-makers and were the top two most mentioned artists.
Cornelius and Edmunds, coming in second, also shared an equal number of lists between them.
Third most mentioned were Tate, Edwards, and Mathis, and they also had equal appearances.
Scholinski, Tattelman, Zipperer, Miner, and Wilber round up the top set of artists, and they also had equal appearances as the most often listed artists.
Congratulations!
