According to the juror, Jim Hardin, “MGAL has a wonderful group of talented artists that are very diversified in their mediums, which made the exhibition very difficult to judge.”  He added, “This is an exhibition that speaks well for itself and all those who entered it.  It should make MGAL members very proud.”

The art will be available to review and enjoy at the Town Hall during regular service hours, Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm through October 29th.
