Congratulations to the first five artists selected by our panel for “The Best of 123Soho 2005Art Show".

They are Ron Anderson, Aureo Antunes, Anna Bocek, Juan Franco, and Romaya Puchman. Please keep in mind that these were culled from over 1000 works of art, most of which were of very high caliber, and that the submissions were not limited to the United States , but are international in origin.
The order in which the artists are being displayed, is not indicative of the quality of the work.
The next 5 artists will be displayed in February.
