“Every year this event grows in talent and numbers and this year is no exception. Over half of this year’s 65 artists are from Osceola County and other Artists came from as far as Jacksonville, St. Petersburg and even Las Vegas, NV to compete for the $300 top prize and one of 5-$100 1st prizes,” says Jules Davidson, Director of Visual Arts, adding that “This is one of my favorite shows of the year, not only for the number of participants but because it showcases all levels of talent and allows them all to shine.”
Also on display in May, are pieces created by children and adult students of The Center’s art classes, which include drawings, paintings, ceramics and stained glass. “Louise Hallauer, Michelle Coulter and Carolyn Davis are all very talented artists themselves and the work of their students is very impressive!” says Davidson.
