NEW THIS YEAR! We have had several inquiries over the past couple years about younger students showing interest in submitting their art or photos This year, we have opened a category for ELEMENTARY children (completing grades 4 thru 6). These ELEMENTARY entries are FREE to enter and will not be judged this year. This is simply an opportunity to share their talent in a non-judged environment. PLEASE share this information with those with children / grandchildren who may be interested.

The judge of the Covenant Center Art Show this year (Brian R Jones -Founder – The Artists Hand Gallery, Indiana, PA) sent us Adjudication notes beginning with the following....

Thank you for the opportunity to review the talented work of so many artists in your community. It gives me great pleasure to consider the imaginations and creativity gathered in their collected expressions. Jurying this show was a pleasurable challenge. There is an abundance of excellent amateur and professional work here. In many cases, it was difficult to distinguish the difference. Kudos to these artists, their trainers, and their muses.

Congratulations to EVERYONE! You all have given Armstrong County another great show of art and photography.

Stop in to appreciate all the entries and cast a vote for your favorite to receive a PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD on Sunday.
