 J.K. Designs' Principal and Executive Director of the National Sculptors' Guild's John Kinkade will be in Winter Park, Florida for the long anticipated judging of the 62nd Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival. The festival was cancelled last year due to the Corona Virus, so the artists who were juried in were invited back to exhibit this year. These artist's are eager to show and sell their creations: while John and the two other judges are excited to select and present the 63 artist awards that total $74,500. John is honored to have been invited to judge this exceptional art festival and we hope those in the area will get a chance to view the exhibit, plus experience the many other activities offered, like Music and Food, the Children’s Workshop and the Leon Theodore Schools Exhibit.... click here to learn more.

Introducing Colorado to its Artistic Talent" - April 24 - May 29, 2016 at the Loveland Museum/Gallery. Opening Night Gala: April 23. Over the past 6 months JK Designs' Principal, John Kinkade, has been pouring much of his knowledge, time and energy into the upcoming 25th Annual Governor's Art Show Happily we are seeing great acknowledgements as the events are beginning to unfold including the opening of Re-Fine-d Gallery this Friday. We believe the art community (artists and collectors alike) will love the show and all the extras that the Board Members have planned.... Beyond the Calendar of Events there will also be artists demonstrations at varied locations each weekend for the duration of the show. Columbine's Alyson Kinkade will be painting April 30th at Studio Vino, and Guest demonstrators Sabrina Stiles and Rodgers Naylor will be at Columbine Gallery May 14th. “This event is not only an opportunity for Colorado artists to show their work,” says board member John Kinkade, “but also to introduce Coloradans to the amazing portfolios of many artistic talents we have in our state.” Indeed, this year’s show features works in a variety of media by 55 artists exploring myriad themes. More than 300 artists submitted work to the juried show, and while there are many returning and established exhibitors, nearly 25 percent of the participants are new to the event. --- To mark the silver anniversary, the show includes an exhibit honoring its “legacy” artists. “This show has been instrumental in introducing new Colorado talent early in their careers,” Kinkade says. “We’re bringing these artists back to the show through the legacy program.” Works owned by the City of Loveland from each of this year’s legacy artists—Fritz White, Kim English, and Quang Ho—are on display in the museum’s Green Room. English and Ho also bring new works available for purchase. ---Proceeds from the show benefit a number of causes and groups supported by two local Rotary clubs. They also have helped to establish art scholarships for area students. click below to read the full Southwest Art article,  Southwest Art Magazine coverage of the upcoming 25th Annual Governor's Art Show Columbine Artists in this years exhibit:
