2009 Art Show Review

The first annual Art Show & Sale at The Red Hen House Retreat Center was held as part of Brooten’s Bonanza Valley Days celebration, July 10-12, 2009. It was a great addition to the city-wide celebration.

Forty-four art pieces were displayed, submitted by nine artists. Mediums included were acrylic, oil, photography, watercolor, intarsia, rosemale, glass & fabric, .

Awards were given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. A reception was held on Friday evening where the public selected the People’s Choice award winner.

Congratulations to the winners!

1st: Tracy Anderson of Kensington entered an oil painting titled “Mary Did You Know”. Her subject was Michelangelo’s Pieta.

2nd: Wei-Wen Huang of Sedan, (Tiawan) submitted “NiNi from Hungary”, done in acrylics. Her subject was a fellow student she met while studying in Hungary.

3rd: Donna Dean of Alexandria submitted a watercolor image titled “Be Back Soon”. This image depicts the changes occurring in our rural countryside.

People’s Choice – the winner of this coveted award was “Purple Tree Silouette”, an enhanced photograph submitted by Candy Bohjanen-Hammitt of Alexandria.

Thank you to everyone who submitted work, attended our first show, and to those who took home awards. This was a great event for The Hen House and we look forward to a bigger show in 2010!
