The adjudicator for this years Art Festival was Richard Yates (pictured above with his dog) who was available for art discussions and questions on Thursday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.. Schools were also invited to bring students for a tour of the display and discussions on that day.

This year we had a variety of entries, including drawings, paintings , sculptures and even quilts.

A new category was added to this years program, for non-adjudicated entries.

This category is for those that just want to exhibit their art or for professional artists not requesting adjudication.




We would like to thank the following people that have volunteered their valuable time this year to help us:
Inge Orf, Fay Summers, Michelle Alarie, Lana Edmunds, Nancy Mcclellan, Mary Snelgrove,
Tara Swan.

Interested in encouraging Visual Art in the Valley?
