Awards for the New Year Celebration Exhibition
The artists have responded to the theme for the New Year Celebration Exhibition beautifully, sharing their inspirations for the New Year as we asked. They celebrated the promise of a New Year, being good to ourselves and those we love, and help each other raise our spirits after the long winter. Make a date with yourself and your loved ones to visit the exhibit soon!

The opening reception for the Exhibition was Thursday, February 6, a warm gathering of good company, music, and lovely art – and, of course, the presentation of awards! Nanette S. Zeller, a nationally recognized award-winning textile artist, judged the entries this time, selecting first, second, and third place winners and naming 3 additional works for honorable mention.
