2016 Fall Juried Exhibition
Our reception on October 26 was a fine launch for our fall exhibition at the Ames Center in Burnsville. 89 works by 50 artists were received, hung, judged and shown in just three days! The highlight of the reception was the announcement of the awards and juror Frank Wetzel's comments, including his criteria for choosing the paintings he awarded. Thanks to all who helped to make this show a true success, including Terrie Christian who designed the layout of the work hung. If you missed the opening, be sure to visit the center soon. The show runs through December 3rd.
Here are the award winners:
