+ gallery artist ETHAN JANTZER recognized as "Best in Show"

Capsule gallery at POD on Santa Fe has put together their first annual juried exhibition, inviting none other than Westword art critic Michael Paglia to jury the exhibition. For "En-Capsule-Ate" Paglia chose a fine array of works from over a hundred entries ... from old favorites to some excellent newcomers, including several artists for whom this is their first show. The artists whose work was ultimately chosen are Patricia Aaron, Philip Barry, Justin Beard, Rick Griffith, Rachel Hawthorn, Ethan Jantzer, Jen Omaitz, Justin Simoni, Greg Wasil, Jonathan Widdowfield, and Janine Zumerchikl!

Many of you will recognize Jantzer's work as a recent addition to + gallery, and should note that Ethan was awarded "Best In Show" by Paglia. The exhibition opens this friday with a reception from 7 till 11 pm, and will be on view through February 12, 2005. Congratulations to Jantzer, who will be mouting a major exhibition at + gallery for the end of February.
