90 mins Present Day Ensemble Cast Interior Set Contemporary Costumes/Street Clothes Comedy

A small town arts council has $20,000 to award to a local artist with an “under-represented American voice.”

Should they choose the teacher/painter of modest talent or the self-taught artist who creates religious figures out of trash?

This comedy explores how gossip, politics and opinions of art can decide who is the most deserving.
