2023 Art Show Winners:

The Harvest Home Fair Art Show for 2023 was blessed with 136 entries of some of the finest art a non-juried community art show could hope for.

 

We would like to sincerely thank artists who entered a painting or other work of art. Comments from the viewing public were that the quality of the artwork was outstanding. When combined with the display presented by the Flower Show in the same venue it was a truly unique experience.

 

And to the many volunteers who assisted in all facets of mounting our show, from receiving art, hanging art, monitoring the venue, selling raffle tickets and returning art we express our deepest appreciation.

 

We also owe a debt of gratitude to our 2023 Art Show judge, Cincinnati artist Craig Britton.
