With $5,000 in purchase and merit awards, this exhibition recognizes and rewards artistic excellence and provides a vital platform with support for working artists in the region.
Our jurors this year are Avon Waters and Alex Warnick, both future Art Barn guest artist instructors whose experience aligns directly with our educational mission and will ensure the highest standards and integrity. Waters is a pastel landscape artist and past president of the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association, and Warnick is a professional watercolorist who has been featured by the National Audubon Society, The American Birding Association, and Birdwatcher’s Digest.
