Valley residents displayed their work in categories like Drawing, Painting, Sculpting, and Photography. The end result was an incredible Visual Art show that showcased an amazing level of community talent.

Their work was adjudicated this year by Laura May, who had the difficult job of critiquing each piece and identifying 10 “Adjudicator’s Top Picks”, in addition to naming the “Best in Show”.



The winning pieces were:

Adjudicator’s Top Picks:
“Mr. Soul Eyes”, Barb L’Abbe
“Let It Speak To You”, Heidi Taylor
“Satori”, Suzanne May
“Days of Future Past”, Gordon Hornbeck
“Early Winter”, M.J. Eichler
“Moonlight Through The Trees”, Paul Freed
“Reflections”, Ron Woroniuk
“Cell Division”, Paul Freed
“Shingle”, Ron Woroniuk
“Look at Me”, Katie Smith

“Best in Show” award was won by Terra Pohl for her oil painting, “Michelle”. The piece was also the recipient of the People’s Choice Award.

The Visual Arts Exhibition was held at the Temple Baptist Church, in tandem with the Music Festival. The Subcomittee would like to thank the Temple Baptist Church for their kindness and hospitality throughout the week.
