Over 200 people attended the opening of the Buchanan Center's first professional juried art competition called 64 Arts and one of the first works you saw upon entering the gallery was this fanciful sculpture of a tank. It didn't win a prize, but it was one of the most colorful entries.
The drawing award went to Mr. George Olson and Ralph Whiteman, a Buchanan board member, is shown examining it closely below.
The ceramics prize was captured by this striking arrangement of eleven delicate jars or bowls.
Guests and the judge also enjoyed an eye appealing buffet and liquid refreshments.
All of the works will be on display at the Buchanan Center for the Arts in Monmouth , IL through September 19th. For more details check http://bcaarts.org
Art works were submitted by 139 artists from 28 states . The judge, Mr. Preston Jackson, a professor of sculpture at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago and owner of the Raven Gallery in Peoria, selected the pieces that were included in the show from slides or digital prints. He traveled to Monmouth to see the actual works and make his final prize awards.
