The 42nd annual Photography Exhibit entry deadline is September 6. This photo by Kathryn Quinn was the 2018 Best of Show.

Our next art exhibit art exhibit will feature the ceramic works of Steve Smith and paintings and prints of Doug Fiely. Both artists are former professors of art of Defiance College and often have created collaborative works. Doug Fiely and Steve Smith were professors of art together at Defiance College and have many collaborative pieces between them along with compelling work of their own. If you haven’t experienced this dynamic duo, you are in for a treat. We will have a little artist chat and maybe some guitar strumming. Closing party will be held on Thursday, September 12, cash bar, snacks, music, everyone is welcome and there is no cost. This will be a good one!
