Fine Arts Showcase
The Visual Arts division is dedicated to providing an outlet for local and regional artisans to showcase their talents. One of the ways is the Fine Arts Showcase is held in early April.
Every year a visiting guest judge is invited and prizes are awarded for categories in painting, photography, and 3-D works. All visitors are invited to vote for People's Choice!
The last several years we have hosted the show at the Best Western Parkside event facility in Olney.
Artists interested in displaying their work should submit the entry form posted here at the beginning of the year.

Congratulations to our 2025 show winners including People's Choice winner Rebecca McVaigh for her work titled Imperturablo.
Traveling Art Show
Another great way to share the arts with our community is the Traveling Art Show.
A collection of artists rotate their work, every two months or so, from one location to another. This allows local offices to have an ever changing art show and the participating artists are in front of many new faces throughout the year.
