The 2010 Art Show & Sale at The Red Hen House Retreat Center was held on July 9-11, 2010 as part of Brooten’s Bonanza Valley Days celebration. It was another great addition to the city-wide celebration.
Fifty-six art pieces were displayed, submitted by nineteen artists. Mediums included acrylic, oil, fused glass, 2 color linocut, pencil, photography, watercolor, fabric, fiber, pastels, ink & viscosity etching.
Awards were given for 1st & 2nd places and People’s Choice. There were also two Honorable Mention awards. A reception was held on Friday evening where the public selected the People’s Choice award winner, enjoyed the pianist, Mercedes Hagen, and had an opportunity to meet some of the artists.
