On the 5th Anniversary of this much anticipated local art show, we are thrilled to announce that there will be almost 100 artists*, of whom 34 are new to the show this year: 59 in the juried segment; 70 in the non-juried segment (under $400); and 28 in the portfolio segment (unframed artwork at various prices). In addition to displaying this fine art and a new "Art-by-Teens" section, we will continue to feature an "Art from Artists" daily drawing, "Artists-at-Work", Young or Children's Art gallery, tours of St. George's church and grounds, and of course our ever popular Thursday evening "Meet the Artists" Reception (catered by Brennan's).
