The winner of the Workhouse Best of the Collector's Showcase 2009 was Richard Allnutt. His shot of Branford Marsalis, taken at the front door of a small church on Wisconsin Avenue, won Best in Show. Allnutt's solo exhibit will take place in Galley W-16 from July 21 - August 15 and will feature candid, and not so candid, portraiture. Please join us at the opening reception on Sunday, July 25 from 2-4pm to meet the artist. Richard Mallory Allnutt is a British-born photographer based in the United States. He focuses primarily on portraiture, but his passions for aviation and the natural world also play a strong role in his repertoire. He has won several significant awards for his work such as the ITVA-DC still photography and the Aviation Week & Space Technology competitions. With clients as diverse as Dom Perignon Champagne, Telarc and Virginia Tech, Richard's images have graced the covers and pages of many magazines and books. The Collector's Showcase is an annual exhibition that highlights the work of all Workhouse artists. Workhouse artists donate a piece of art work to the exhibition. Of all the pieces submitted, an outside juror then selects 13 artists to exhibit their art work in the Collector's Showcase Exhibition and also in the 2011 Workhouse Arts Center Calendar. The piece that is awarded Best in Show is used as cover art for the calendar and later granted a solo exhibition in Gallery W-16. The Collector's Showcase culminates with the Fete d'Etoile, an incredible evening of art, food and entertainment. The next Collector's Showcase is scheduled for February 2011.
