Note that we are starting an hour later than other reception events at the San Marcos Art Center to capture the beauty of the darkness.

Winners Showcase Opening Reception
The July Awards Show celebrated artistic excellence with prizes for First Place and Honorable Mention in five categories, plus a prize for Best in Show.

Join us for the Opening Reception on September 12th, 6-8pm.
The Winners Showcase will be on display from September 9th - October 3rd.
