The show remains open to the public through Saturday, June 26th. This year’s judge was John Pototschnik of Wylie, Texas who selected 130 paintings from nearly 400 entrants and then selected the prize winners.

Second prize worth $3,000 went to Seymour artist Judith Lewis for her painting “Sweet Seranade” while the $2,000 third place prize went to John Michael Carter of Louisville for his painting “Lana.” The Brown County Art Gallery is located at the corner of Main Street and Artist Drive in Nashville.
