Pick Your Favorite Piece for the People's Choice Folk Art Innovation Award
We are excited to share the 2026 submissions for the 2nd IFAM Innovation Awards sponsored by JoAnn and Bob Balzer. This year, we've added a People's Choice Award, which will be determined by total online votes.
By clicking on a piece of art, you are choosing that item to vote for. Base your selection on the displayed work alone.
There is no click-to-zoom or more information option.
You must enter your email after making your selection to submit your vote.
The People's Choice Award will be announced at our Saturday Night Market on July 11, between 6 and 9 pm.
