Published on by Vicki Martin

We are pleased to finally announce the place-winning entries in our 48th Annual Fall Art Show!

Out of a total of 56 entries–hailing from artists located all over the Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas parts of the Ozarks–our three judges awarded a combined total of 19 honors in the Adult Divisions of Novice and Advanced, as well as the top honor of Best of Show and each individual judge’s Favorite Pick.

And the winners are……
