This year 446 works were submitted, and after processing, they were delivered to this year's judge, Mike Sinclair, who selected 150 works for exhibition. $1,500 in cash prizes were awarded, works were matted and framed, and the exhibition opened as the anchor of our Winter Art Walk on Saturday, December 4.
