Thus, for over 50 years, the show has gained iconic community status and anticipated by artists and art lovers alike. This show features fine artisanal art and crafts including painting, ceramics, photography, sculpture, mixed media, textiles, woodworking, metal sculpting, printmaking, furniture and jewelry. All art is original artwork created by the artist representing their work. All artisanal crafts are handmade by the artist representing the crafts. Artists are selected based on the quality and uniqueness of their artwork and on the quality of their display and representation. Our goal is to feature a diverse group of artists and limit artists in any given category in order to ensure the best environment for sales for all artists and a diverse selection for attendees. Every year, numerous charity organizations benefit from the funds raised by the Rotary Club volunteer members. The ultimate beneficiaries of these events are people "in need" in our community. ### General information **Media Categories for Consideration** - Ceramics: All work be hand-built or thrown by artists.
