2024 Winners
We are so proud of all of the winners this year, many of whom are Art League members and friends of the Gallery, and we are especially thrilled that so many of our artists at the Gallery were among those awarded prizes from the 12-judge committee. Thanks so much to Friends of the Library and all the staff from the Columbia County library branches and from the Gallery who helped make this year the best one yet!
