AUBURN —
The city of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Association would like to thank artists and community members for taking part in the 18th annual Juried Art Show and Preview Reception. This free event was held on the evening of April 27.
Local and regional artists submitted original works of art from an array of mediums such as paintings, works on paper, three-dimensional ceramics and sculptures, mixed-media and photography. All submitted artwork was available for viewing and purchase at the historic Nunn-Winston House in Kiesel Park. Working in conjunction with Auburn CityFest, the art exhibition remained open to the public during the festival on April 29.
Guest mingled with artists while they enjoyed live musical entertainment by Zeph Embers and delicious complimentary hors d’oeuvres by Home Eats Catering.
