Open Show Exhibitors Selected!

 
Juror, Shelly Willis stated:
"It was a pleasure and honor to view the 655 submissions. The quality and range of ideas expressed in the paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, and mixed media works submitted was vast and impressive."
 


The exhibit will showcase the fine artwork of forty-two artists from eight different states, in a variety of media, from oil and watercolor painting and ceramics to solar etchings and mixed media that includes crochet and button-work, copper and reeds.  Visitors will be confronted with a range of thought-provoking content that may speak to their intellect, sense of humor, spirituality and emotions, as well as to their aesthetics.
 
Willis will also select the winners of $2000 in cash awards, including the coveted $1000 Best of Show Award, to be announced during the opening reception.

Exhibiting: February 20 - April 9, 2010
Opening Reception: Feb. 20, 6:30-9pm
