Public votes advanced Walla Walla artist and organizer Anthony Covert to the group final stage of the Johnny Depp Presents The People's Artist, a competition with a cash prize open to artists in U.S. and Canada. The winner - whittled down from a pool of about 400 artists - will receive a $25,000 honorarium, an exhibit at the Art of Elysium's Art Salon in Los Angeles, and a feature in Artforum Magazine. "I'm super excited, I'm just that much closer," Covert said.
