GALLERY EXHIBITION

Now through July 31, 2019

The “8th Annual International Exhibition of Scratchboard Art” is on display through July 31, 2019, and includes works by 51 artists from all over the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, China and Portugal. Awards were presented at the opening reception prior to the International Society of Scratchboard Art conference held at the Center.

Many of these scratchboard works appear to be high-resolution photographs, fooling the observer upon first encounter. The level of artistry in this exhibit is extraordinary, especially in the works by Master Level member artists.
