On August 28, 2010, 200 people came to the Kansas City Artists Coalition and listened to Peregrine talk about her work and her experiences on the Bravo TV reality show, “A Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.”
A declaration was presented; signed by Mayor Funkhouser declaring August 28th as Peregrine Honig day!
Peregrine Honig was chosen from around 1,000 applicants to participate in the Bravo TV show. Work of Art: The Next Great Artist brought together fourteen aspiring artists to compete for a solo show at the prestigious Brooklyn Museum and a generous cash prize. Viewers watched for 13 weeks as the artists competed with each other to survive the critiques and make it to the final show without being eliminated. Peregrine proved her talent by making it to the finals, coming in second and putting Kansas City at the forefront of the national art scene.
