All Creatures Great and Small

Annual Art Competition - Winners Announced October 3

Animals that fly, crawl, walk or swim are all around us, and our artists love to share these moments in nature every year in our fall art competition. This show captures the essence of animals in expressive ways - that means you'll see sculptures, paintings, mixed-media and more!

The public is invited to a free First Saturday reception to enjoy refreshments, live music, and to meet the featured artists. Awards presentation begins at 5:30pm.
