Ava Art Guild Announces Art Show Winners
By Candace Butler
The Ava Art Guild and Gallery had the judging for the annual Fall Art Show on Monday, Oct. 22, and 100 entries were brought into the gallery for consideration. The quality of the artwork is fabulous, with many categories, such as the pencil drawing, paintings, fiber art, under 18 and much more.
The judge did a great job with all these pieces of art. For the judges choice recognition, she picked the piece entitled High Summer, by artist Connie Hammond.
For public viewing, the show is open Wednesdays through Saturdays, Oct. 23 – Nov. 2. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
The public is encouraged to come in, browse and vote for their favorite art works in the adult category, and under 18. Votes will be counted Nov. 2, and a People’s Choice award announced with ribbon and money awards.
The Art Guild conducts ten workshops during the year from March through December. All are open to the public, and supplies are provided by the guild.
Guild membership is $10 a year, $5 for junior membership, and $20 for family membership.
