The winners were chosen by a committee of community art experts and college personnel except the Peoples’ Choice Award which was determined by votes cast during the college’s Spring Fine Arts Festival. The artists were awarded cash prizes.
More than 113 pieces by WCC students were entered into the show, which was sponsored by the Foundation of Wayne Community College. All of those pieces were available for purchase with the proceeds going to the Foundation for fine arts student scholarships and enrichment activities.
