Seeking nominations for 2008 Boston Art Awards

This is a reminder that the deadline for nominations for the 2008 Boston Art Awards is Sunday, Jan. 4.

The aim of the awards, which are organized by The New England Journal of Aesthetic Research, is to promote a more exciting local art scene by honoring the best art made here and exhibits organized here in 2008. And anyone can make nominations, which The Journal will compile into a ballot. Then winners will be chosen by votes of (1) local active art journalists and (2) anyone else who wants to vote – and will be announced in terms of these two categories of voters.

So consider yourself invited to post nominations as comments here – which I hope will promote discussion – and vote by e-mail once a ballot of nominees is posted here in early January. (If you’re shy, please send nominations here. Put “Nominations” in the subject line.) And please invite others to do so too.
