2026 Spring Juried Exhibition
Our 89th Spring Juried Exhibition was held at Hopkins Center for the Arts with the opening reception on Thursday, February 26, 6-8 PM. We had a terrific crowd who attended the reception. It was a lively evening with lots of conversation and camaraderie. Many thanks to our juror, Jim Clark, who gave thoughtful, in-depth explanations of his choices for the awards and to HCA for providing the wonderful venue and the refreshments. The show continues through March 28, 2026. Congratulations to all of the artists!
