Each picture had a sponsor sometimes someone from the organization who make the painting, while some only provided space to an unaffiliated artist.

Since this was just an exhibition there were no prizes given, My favorites were the cats in the canoe, and the Dungeons and Dragons.

This is a new festival. I hope it continues to grow. There is no charge and not even a parking fee since it is being held on the weekend.
