On August 20, prior to the show opening, our judges walked through the exhibit, critiquing and collaborating, then deciding which of these beautiful pieces of artwork will win.
Visitors throughout the exhibit duration will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite pieces as well, both live and on the In. Art Show app at https://inartshow.wyomingcreativearts.org, with People's Choice awards being announced on the final day of the exhibit.
The Underground Gallery of the art center will feature artwork by the judges and Wyoming Area Creative Arts Community directors to give people some perspective into the minds of the judges and directors . Paul and Lucy Hoppe will have a table with information on their real estate team, so check out our generous sponsors. Stop by the art center and see one of the most powerful art exhibits ever displayed in the region.
