Call for Entries: Wine Label Design Competition
The Capital Grille Launches Third Annual Wine Label Design Contest
Proceeds to Benefit Share Our Strength; Winner to Travel to Napa Valley
(August 29, 2011, New York, NY) – Artists everywhere are invited to enter the third annual Artist Series Wine Label Design competition hosted by The Capital Grille ― the nationally renowned fine-dining restaurant known for its dry-aged, hand-carved steaks, fresh seafood and award-winning wine list. With a focus on once again uniting the worlds of fine wine and fine art, the winning piece of original artwork will grace bottles of a specially blended wine across the United States.
In addition, The Capital Grille will donate a portion of the proceeds from each bottle sold to Share Our Strength and its mission to end childhood hunger in America. Over the past two years, sales of the Artist Series wine resulted in over $420,000.00 donated to the charity.
From August 22 through October 7, submissions of original artwork will be considered in a search for a wine label design for The Capital Grille’s exclusive Artist Wine Label Series. This limited production Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon is made by acclaimed winemaker Ted Edwards of Freemark Abbey Vineyard, who has been crafting world-class wines in Napa Valley for over 30 years. Miliotes, Master Sommelier for The Capital Grille, worked alongside Edwards to blend a distinctive Cabernet originating from grapes grown in the famed Stagecoach and Bosche vineyards.
“We created The Capital Grille Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon to provide our guests with the incomparable opportunity to experience a wine that is lively, sophisticated and intensely aromatic, to best complement the flavors found on our menu. With this extended length of flavor, you can’t stop with just one glass,” said Miliotes, one of only 180 Master Sommeliers in the world.
In addition to the prestige and publicity from having artwork displayed on these limited edition bottles of wine, this year’s winning artist will also receive from The Capital Grille a case of the wine and an all-expenses paid, four day/three night trip to Napa Valley to enjoy personalized tours of some of the world’s top wineries. For more information on how to enter, visit www.TheCapitalGrille.com, beginning August 22.
The Capital Grille Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon will be available exclusively at all 45 locations of The Capital Grille, and will complement The Capital Grille’s award-winning wine program, which is routinely recognized by Wine Spectator magazine. Featuring more than 350 Old and New World selections housed in floor-to-ceiling, temperature-controlled wine kiosks, The Capital Grille’s wine offerings also include a Captain’s List of 125 collector wines. Guests also have the opportunity to lease a wine locker, personalized with an inscribed brass nameplate.

Artist Member News: Sofiya Inger Wins Fellowship
Indianapolis Art Center Announces Fellowship Awardee
Indianapolis, IN (September 14, 2011) – The Indianapolis Art Center in conjunction with the Robert McKinney family, awarded Sofiya Inger the first-ever Skip McKinney Faculty of the Year Fellowship. The $20,000 fellowship is given to an Art Center faculty member who exhibits excellence in his/her art, teaching and in building community. About 30 Art Center faculty applied for the fellowship; Ms. Inger was selected from among nine finalists. The eight other honorees will receive $500 each. In addition to the cash award, Ms. Inger will receive a solo show in December 2012 featuring work she completes throughout the coming year.
In talking about the selection process, Robert McKinney, husband of Skip McKinney said, “I didn’t intend to be involved in the selection process initially, however, I am so glad I did because I had such a wonderful opportunity to learn about all the talented Indianapolis Art Center faculty,” he said. “All nine finalists exhibited amazing artistic talent, exemplary teaching expertise and remarkable efforts in building a community.” The award was created by the McKinney family to honor the legacy of Arlene “Skip” McKinney, long-time Art Center student, accomplished artist and community leader.
In receiving the fellowship, Ms. Inger said it represented particular significance for her. “I came to America in search of a community of like-minded people,” she said. She finds it odd that people ask her how she ended up in Indiana. “I don’t see that I ended up here. I see that I have found Indiana. The hospitality here is amazing. I have found many friends who support me. Not only do I have the support of friends, but I have support for my art. The Art Center is a community that supports artists,” she said.
The Art Center completed a videotape about Ms. Inger, available at http://www.youtube.com/user/IndyArtCtr#p/u/10/drtaYyOxbYk .
The eight other finalists for the fellowship included:
Alice Battas, ceramics
Peggy Breidenbach, ceramics
Kimberly Conrad, metalsmithing
Dan Cooper, photography
Loran Hill, ceramics
Matt Kenyon, glass
Tom Laird, woodworking
Vandra Pentecost, painting
In introductory remarks, Carter Wolf, Art Center CEO, said the fellowship encourages not only excellence in teaching and instructor creativity, but also development of a sense of community in classes that has meant so much for decades of students such as Skip McKinney.

Artist Sought to Paint Portrait of Governor Mitch Daniels
Artist Sought to Paint Portrait of Governor Mitch Daniels
Hoosier artists are invited to submit their applications to paint the official portrait of Governor Mitch Daniels. The Indiana State Museum will coordinate the selection process to determine the artist who will paint the 42-inch by 32-inch oil or acrylic work that is completed for each Indiana governor and will then become part of the historic governors' portrait collection, managed by the museum.
To be considered, applicants are required to:
• Be a resident or native of Indiana. Preference will be given to Indiana residents.
• Include a resume of past portrait experience and commissions, a list of work in public collections, past exhibitions, and art training.
• Provide an artist's statement about their approach to portrait painting. Specific ideas about the commission also may be included but are not required.
• Submit six to 10 digital color samples of their portrait work, including some detail. The work may be submitted using this web address: www.indianamuseum.org/portrait.
• Propose a fee amount for the commission. Historically, private fundraising is used for the commission and framing and the same practice will be followed for Daniels' portrait. Any remaining funds are maintained by the state museum for maintenance, preservation and exhibition of the collection.
Submission deadline is 4:30 p.m. Friday, October 14, 2011. Finalists will be determined in November and the selected artist will be named by the end of the year. The painting will be completed by summer 2012 with the unveiling of the portrait expected by December, 2012.
More information for artists, including the application, is available on the web page www.indianamuseum.org/portrait.
Hoosier artists are invited to submit their applications to paint the official portrait of Governor Mitch Daniels. The Indiana State Museum will coordinate the selection process to determine the artist who will paint the 42-inch by 32-inch oil or acrylic work that is completed for each Indiana governor and will then become part of the historic governors' portrait collection, managed by the museum.
To be considered, applicants are required to:
• Be a resident or native of Indiana. Preference will be given to Indiana residents.
• Include a resume of past portrait experience and commissions, a list of work in public collections, past exhibitions, and art training.
• Provide an artist's statement about their approach to portrait painting. Specific ideas about the commission also may be included but are not required.
• Submit six to 10 digital color samples of their portrait work, including some detail. The work may be submitted using this web address: www.indianamuseum.org/portrait.
• Propose a fee amount for the commission. Historically, private fundraising is used for the commission and framing and the same practice will be followed for Daniels' portrait. Any remaining funds are maintained by the state museum for maintenance, preservation and exhibition of the collection.
