Mispillion Art League's Fine Art & Fine Craft Exhibit

Our "Gala" was a big success! In spite of the rain we had a great turnout. The showroom at i.g. Burton BMW was decorated with black and white and silver balloons and our exhibit filled the space. The work looked terrific, the judge did a great job, the food was yummy and the wine tasting fun. We enjoyed the music of a harpist for the first half of the evening and a violinist for the second half. Bob decided not to bring his camera (and mine is broken!) so I don't have any photos to show you of the evening,unfortunately. So I'll just post the images that won prizes, and the set up of the showroom.

We were proud of our local artists and appreciated the efforts of Nick Serratore, award-winning pastel artist from Lewes, who thoughtfully judged the show.

The MAL Gala was a wonderful event. All of the hard work by the exhibit committee, fundraising committee,hospitality,advertising, and the many other volunteers made the evening come together beautifully. I so enjoyed being a part of the festivities. Judy
