"This year, we are looking to play a bigger game by partnering with more artists, more organizations and more businesses that will allow us to truly expand our reach.
"We are particularly pleased that GRAM will host the LTAC competition this year. There's no better art venue to showcase our amazingly talented artists, and we are delighted to be able to hold our reception and public vote in what is arguably the leading venue for ArtPrize each year."
