ACOPAL takes great pleasure in announcing the winners and finalists in our competition to exhibit at the Butler Institute of American Art. The competition was received with an overwhelming response and selecting the finalists and winners was no easy task. The Jury of Awards included Peter Trippi, Paul McCormack and David Kassan. The 3 Grand Prize Winners will be included in the upcoming ACOPAL’s Exhibition of Contemporary American & Chinese Realism at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.
