The art show accepted entries in 11 mediums; painting, drawing, ceramics, glass, jewelry, metal, fiber, wood, sculpture, graphic art and mixed media. Sculpture can get short shrift in an art world where drawing and painting usually dominate. Isiogu made sure to invite sculptors to compete. Danielle Wood received the Special Art Award for the ceramic piece she calls “Conjoined.”

Keith Preston won First Prize for ceramics with this Raku vase. Raku is a dramatic, flash-fire glazing process.
