This was our biggest show ever this year with a total of 128 works of art across 4 categories, and a total of 58 artists participating for awards totaling $3,975! The exhibit is rich in talent and diversity and ALL the artists deserve congratulations for their pieces.

In addition, it takes many hours to plan and hold the show each year. Many volunteers donated many hours to make it possible and they all deserve our thanks and congratulations as well. Juried Show Co-Chairs Ann Peake and Kay Young have done a fantastic job bringing all the details together for this year's show. Thank you also to all the other volunteers (Randy Spencer, Barbara Teusink, Melinda Smith, Sandra Wilkie and Sandra Oliver, Roger Buenzow, Bobbi Sorensen, Brian Fox, Al Leitch, Alex DiFrancesco, Ann Sweeney and others). Thank you too to all our members, board members and community partners who have donated so generously to fund this show.

2019 AWARD WINNERS

Awards Open to All Categories

Best in Show ($350) - “Somewhere in Sudan” by Ann Sweeney

Juror Comments: “We chose Ann Sweeney’s oil painting, “Somewhere in Sudan” for BIS. We were captivated by her soulful eyes and her inner strength and beauty. It is evident that Sweeney could feel her spirit. Her choice of painting her close-up in a large format gives a powerful impact on the viewer. She masterfully handled the soft filtered light and vibrant colors within a well-designed composition.”
