Winners of the Fall Gather 2017
Thank you to all the Western Artists that competed in the Fall Gather 2017. Your work is amazing and we thank you for sharing it with the world through the WARA. This round of competition was fierce, (yet friendly) and many pieces were separated by fractions of a point. The WARA judging staff sure had their work cut out for them.
26,000 votes were cast from fans during the contest, which was HUGE! Thank you to all the fans that came back day after day to cast a vote and support the artists.
The artwork that we are seeing just keeps getting better and better and it’s fun to watch the World Standings change after each contest. The Fall Gather was our best Online Art Rodeo yet and we can’t wait to see what the November Harvest 2017 will bring.
