This 25th annual Artistic Discovery competition has brought together art from across the Upper Peninsula and the upper Lower Peninsula.
"We're delighted to invite young artists into our gallery," Warstler said.
"The quality of the work has been so good in past exhibits, we want to honor them,"
|
"It's all original art, all done within the last year, and it's done bystudents from throughout the First District. Last year's winner was from
Cheboygan," she said.
The piece judged Best of Show is sent to Washington, D.C., and displayed for a year in the Capitol.
