The highly active Artist group, No Place Like Home, has chosen a special photograph for its Group Logo in celebration of its first anniversary on April 19, 2017. The theme for the contest, appropriately enough, was ONE! The contest generated a stir, as three special artists tied for First Place. The group's Administrator, Jenny Revitz Soper, chose the winning logo Fixerupper by Michael Ciskowski.

"It was a tough decision," says Ms. Soper. "I wish the voters could have chosen the winner. But since there is only one logo, I chose the one which best fits the theme of the group. All three images were spectacular."

Also placing in First place are Peek-A-Boo by Shane Bechler and Muskoka Morning by Karl Anderson.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS OF THE ADDICTION RECOVERY ART WITH TEXT CONTEST 3/26/2017!!

The Addiction Recovery Art with Text Artist group focuses on ART and WORDS of encouragement and praise for those recovering from alcoholism or drug addiction and their family members that can be turned into greeting cards, t-shirts, posters and mugs. Sort of a "Get well/Thinking of you/Congratulations" mix. The 12 steps or any recovery group's slogans are wonderful examples.

The contest was open to all members of Fine Art America. Members and non-members were among those voting. The winners have been chosen!!!

THIRD PLACE...

For those struggling to overcome an addiction and/or alcoholism, no one needs to tell you it is tough – you are living it. Sufferers and their families need encouraging words as a reminder that they are not alone and that, yes, change really is possible. On Fine Art America, a small but dynamic artist group, Addiction Recovery Art and Text, has been focusing on ART and WORDS as a means to encourage and praise those in recovery from addiction and alcoholism.

Substance addiction is a growing issue in the United States and the world that impacts millions of people and their families.
