Clock's Ticking: One Week Left to Vote for Dan's Best of the Best Artists & Businesses 2021

The East End is widely considered to be an artists’ haven — a place where art can flourish in all its forms and where performance and visual artists can find inspiration everywhere they look. Key to many artists’ success is the presence of contemporaries who inspire them to push their art to new heights, and where better to find a bit of aspirational competition than the Dan’s Best of the Best contest?

As voted in the 2020 contest, these are the East End’s champion artists and artisans in categories ranging from music and photography to jewelry design and hair styling. Will your vote help them secure yet another victory, or crown another winner in their place? It’s your choice to make, but you’d better make it soon!

The clock is ticking fast, with only one week left to vote in the 2021 Best of the Best contest. You’ve got until Friday, December 31 at 11:59 p.m. to cast your votes once per day at DansBOTB.com. Get voting!
