The Fairfield Art Association recently held its annual Celebration of Art and Artists with its members and the public in the Main Gallery of the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center.
A highlight was the announcement of the four Outstanding Award Winners in this 59th annual Membership Exhibit. The juror Ann Klingensmith selected and provided a critique on each piece: Sabrina Odessa won for her photograph "Blizzard" taken in a Fairfield Alley; Jessica Kirby from Ft. Madison won with her oil painting "Fancy Meeting You Here;" Local artist Asya Weigert won with "On the Edge," an oil painting; and Pulaski, Iowa artist Gin Lammert won with a soft pastel titled "Of the Principalities Tribe".
Those in attendance could vote for their "Favorite Art Piece" which Donna Sturm won for her "Summer Concert on the Square," a watercolor of Fairfield Square.
The current exhibit remains up for viewers to see until March 25. The Fairfield Arts & Convention Center building is open to the public daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
