We at The Basement Gallery are thrilled on our newest endeavor to host our first annual DFW Arts Award Show to be presented at The Latino Cultural Center January 9th 2015. This awards show will help create a platform where the people of the DFW community can come together to promote, nominate and support local artist they believe should have the opportunity to be recognized for their continued commitment of creativity. Promoting local businesses and talent is important to the vitality and growth of our great city. We have been able to secure our location with The Latino Cultural Center facility. With their belief in our endeavor it gives us much hope we will be able to garner the support of you with your presence this fabulous night. Our event will not only feature the presentation of awards, it will also feature live local entertainment from artist throughout the DFW area. So come out and show Art some love! ------------------------------------------ The Basement Gallery PRESENTS DFW Art Awards 2014 @ The Latino Culture Center 2600 Live Oak St. Dallas TX 75204 Friday, January 9, 2015 6pm - 6:45pm: Mixer 7pm - 9pm: Award Ceremony 9pm - 10pm: Reception ------------------------------------------------- Art Exhibit by participating Awardees. -------------------------------------------------- Award Categories / Winners: -Arts Education- Art Love Magic -Artist of the Year- Carlos Don Juan -Photography- Harold Samples -Abstract- Kiki Curry Winters -Expressionism- Douglas Winters -Realism- Haziel Flores -Art Design- Antolin Pineda -Pop Art- Jason Chalker -Sculpture- Sergio Garcia -Graffiti Artist- Joe Skilz -Art Crew- Sour Grapes -Art Exhibit- Art Con 10 -Art Curator- Raymond Butler -Gallery of the year- Kettle Art Gallery -Muralist- Patricia Rodriguez -Lifetime Achievement- Frank Campagna -Philanthropy- Frank Campagna ---------------------------------------------- Award Ceremony MC: Amber Harris (Editor Assistant for Gurufocus) http://www.gurufocus.com/] ---------------------------------------------- Award Presenters / Special Guests: • Domingo Garcia (Former Mayor Pro-Tem and Attorney) http://www.legacy.domingogarcia.com/] • Elise Martinez (Former Miss Southlake and Current Mavs Dancer) http://www.elisemartinez.com/] • Dora Chu (Fashionista) http://www.couturetovintagebydora.com/] • Renato De Los Santos (Lulac Community Leader) http://my.lulac.org/group/361] • More to be announced ------------------------------------------ Performances by: • Favian Herrera (Dancer, Choreographer) http://favianherreradance.weebly.com/] • Grand Prairie Fine Arts Academy (Students) http://www.gpisd.org/finearts] • Booker T.
