ArtWorks Winners

The Mall at Green Hills came alive for the Arts & Business Council’s (ABC) ArtWorks, the annual art exhibit and reception inspiring corporate creativity and camaraderie. ArtWorks invited companies to show off their team’s creativity, enter up to ten pieces of original artwork created by their employees and compete to win Critic’s Pick and People’s Choice Awards.
