“Usually it’s just the show where you go and you look at all the talented local artists’ work,” she said. “But this year, we’re doing demonstrations … we have a glass kiln worker and we’ll have a couple of artists who will do some really fancy things to hopefully captivate them and get them in the art spirit.”

Raffle tickets will be $1 each or six for $5. Prizes will be several original pieces of art, such as glasswork, jewelry and paintings, all donated by association members.
“It’s tough enough to make a living as an artist, so for them to donate these pieces was very kind,” Negron said.
Charlotte Gardner, past president of the association, said the event has drawn more than 500 spectators, depending on “the location and the time.”
“We hope this will be a better time than we’ve had in the past,” she said. “We hope to have a big crowd.”
Gardner noted that presenting artists will have the chance to win prizes for their work, another feature that’s new this year.
“We’re giving ribbons for the first time,” she said. “We’ll be judging in four categories … we’ll give first, second and third in each category. We think that will be nice because people always like to get ribbons.”
There will also be a best in show award of $50, and artists will get to keep any profits they make from selling their work.
“We’re not charging any commission or any entrance fees for our artists, so if they do sell pieces they get to keep all the proceeds,” Gardner said. “That’s the first time we’ve done it like that.”
The work will be divided into the categories of paintings, photography, jewelry and 3-D, which Gardner said includes pieces such as sculpture, wood working and mixed media.
“We’ve got watercolor,Want to find ultrasonicsensor? pastel, oil, acrylic, mixed media, drawings and all of a sudden we’ve got some oddball things in there too, like somebody made a metal wreath and … somebody made something out of wax,” she said.
“We’re hoping this starts off something new and in moving forward, it will grow, we hope,” she said. “We’re trying to get people exposed to art. Maybe if the kids come out and they see what everybody’s doing, maybe they’ll go down [that] path and we’ve done a little something.”
