The Gallery announced the winning pieces during a public reception. Other winning works included second place for “Make a Joyful Noise” by Jennifer Thomas-Houdeshell and third place for “First Notes” by Suzy Edl. In addition, honorable mentions were awarded for “School Days” by Betsy Ore Glass and “Jack” by Cindy Valdez. Local artist Kathy Durdin served as the judge for the exhibition.
