2017 Visual Arts Showcase

Our 2017 Visual Arts Showcase was held April 2-April 7, 2017 at The Holiday in Olney, Illinois. This was a very rewarding week for the Arts Council as we were able to provide an outlet for local artists, both professional and aspiring, to showcase their work. We were so impressed by all the artwork entered and we believe this may have been the most successful Visual Arts Showcase to date. Thank you to all of our artists who entered their work and to our volunteers for setting up the showcase and working the table throughout the week. Also, thank you to The Holiday for hosting our event and the artists reception.

Below is a list of our 2017 Showcase Winners. Congratulations!
