For this year’s One Read art exhibit, we asked area artists to contribute works that explore the objects or relationships in our connected, complex and electrified world that we’d yearn for most if they were lost to us.

At the exhibit’s opening reception on September 15, the following winners and honorable mentions were announced. Congratulations to all!

First place:
“Coffee,” acrylic

Second place:
“What Is Lost,” fiber, by Rebecca Douglas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Third place:

“Flip of the Switch” by Tootie Burns (Mixed Media)

A very big thank you to the Columbia Art League, Columbia’s Office of Cultural Affairs and Orr Street Studios for their support and promotion of this event. And a special thank you to all the area artists who submitted their work.  The One Read art exhibit will be on display at Orr Street Studios through September 26.
