Congratulations to all of this year's participating artists. Juror, Mel Grunau, commented on the difficulty he had in jurying the awards because of the overall high quality of the art. This show was a smashing success thanks to the hard work and dedication of our fabulous committee, the financial support of our sponsors (listed on the right), the financial support of the Medina County Arts Council, and all those people who came to view the exhibit.
