The 2010 art exhibit brought together the work of 16 artists—each with a unique vision. The work included paintings, photography, ceramics and textiles. The artists are from across the country and include professionals and amateurs. Eight of the artists joined us for the opening of the exhibit, giving our guests a chance to talk to them about their work.
Thirty-two of the pieces on exhibit were available during our art auction. A total of 18 pieces were sold during the run of the exhibit.
