Announcing Winners of the Art Stampede 2019 National Show, Juror Linda Aman


I was honored to be the judge and juror for the 2019 Art Stampede National Show, held at the Nampa Civic Center July 15th - 20th!  The fine art in this show was exceptional and a privilege to judge.  I have very specific criteria and it was exciting to see who rose to the top.  A special congratulations to all who entered!  It shows you are serious about your commitment in fine art and your personal journey.
A huge thank you to Debra Curry of Heartland Studios for sponsoring this wonderful show!  It was a big success because of you and your team.
