2010 Spring Show - "Art Under the Big Top"

Our May 21-22 spring show "Art Under the Big Top" was a wonderful success, with nearly 120 works of art competing in five different categories.  With rain every day the week prior there were some nervous organizers but the weather cooperated nicely, graciously keeping us dry and we didn't have to test the capabilities of the large tent.

Artists competed in several categories, and patrons could participate in a Silent Auction of numerous small works by member artists.  Congratulations to the winners!
