The Value of Community Art Showing

Talent abounds within our rural area of Grant County.   Artistic abilities shown through a painting, a sculpture, a photograph, or authoring a book, often are hidden until a venue brings attention to such creations.  One such venue was recently held in our area through an annual art show. This particular event provides artists within the community to exhibit their creations to the public. Their inspiration of heart is expressed through varied mediums and subject matter.

The Community Art Show is now in its 12th year.  I took photos of individual works displayed and wanted to share some with you today.   Because of limited space, I cannot show them all but wanted to give you, my readers, a sampling of art shown by our local artisans.

We were privileged this year to display bronze sculptures created by Hans Magden, as shown below.

This beautiful wood sculpture of a Bighorn Sheep was carved by Ken Justice.....

It was tough to choose among the beautiful creations displayed at the art show to put in my blog.  All were worthy of recognition.  These few selections highlight the manifold talents that exist in our rural community.

Join me at The Turn-Up Patch for my next posting on Monday, June 4th.  Until then, here is a quote by Julia Cameron.... "Creativity is a spiritual issue.  Any progress is made by leaps of faith, some small and some large"....
