Anne has chosen artwork from a record number of entries to this Juried Exhibit. The artists are all ages and from all over Minnesota. There are paintings, drawings, collages, mixed media, photography, quilts, sculpture, glass, and woodwork. Many different styles from realistic to abstract are represented.
A special thanks to all the volunteers who make The Edge Center possible and, in particular, the group who set up this show. Also a special thanks to the sponsors of this year’s Art on The Edge Juried show: Northland Dental Clinic, Arvig Communications, First State Bank of Bigfork, Kocian's Family Grocery and Bigfork Valley Hospital.
Please come to the opening reception and get a chance to vote for the People's Choice Award. It is a chance for each audience member to vote for his or her favorite work of art. Like armchair quarterbacking, it's your chance to second-guess the juror. You may vote all day July 5 up until 6:00 pm at the Opening Reception.
