APG Show Award Announced


The Artist Preservation Group is unveiling their awards for the 2009 show. I'm making this announcement because the awards for the show will be a bit unique. Taking a lead from the Long Island guys with their awards package of a drawing by Greg DiFranco we've copied that idea but with just a little different twist. Renowened historical artist Keith Rocco has very generously offered one of his images to be used as an award. The image, Confederate Color Bearer, falls in line with the 2009 Alabama Flag Project. Although not specifically an Alabama Color Bearer, Keith's painting is an excellent representation of what any Color Bearer may have looked like. The image has been printed in an 8X10 format, all prints will be signed by Keith, and awarded with a card denoting Gold, Silver, Bronze, or Certificate levels. The prints are suitable for framing and will be a collectors item for the winner. This print will only be available through the APG as an award.
