This year's annual contest "Roots and Wings" was presented on Monday May 18. We had a great crowd and wonderful food for our meeting and End of Year Party. As usual, we had a lot of laughter and fellowship as we all enjoyed being together and enjoying the beautiful ART. We had 66 participants: 56 in-person members, 6 members by Zoom and 4 guests in attendance. The 2026 May Member’s Contest Theme was conceived and planned by Jasmine Fleetwood .

We had 28 beautiful entries with many different media and a wide variety of creative beauty. We really appreciate everyone's participation!

Note: Artwork entered in the Annual Contest is not restricted from also being entered into one of our two annual juried shows.
