The fifth-annual Here and Now Art Show last Saturday saw the participation of 36 artists who submitted their original artworks for judgment.
Oakwood Village provided the backdrop to showcase these pieces while attendees were treated to performances by Makai Metzler and Todd Fowler. The atmosphere was further enriched by captivating spoken word performances and poetry readings by Tricia Pilkington and Holly Parsons.
Taking on the role of this year’s discerning judge for the artwork was Rachel Welch. Listed below are the deserving ribbon winners.
