VERO BEACH — After a successful inaugural exhibition held in February 2015, the Vero Beach Art Club proudly announces the winners of the Second Annual “Art On The Island” exhibit.
The fine art and fine craft 3D show featured artwork by members of the Vero Beach Art Club in the categories of Sculpture, Mixed Media, Jewelry, Wood/Fiber, Ceramics, Glass and something new the Art Club calls “2D with Pizzazz!”
In this category, artists who work on flat surfaces are challenged to add a three dimensional element to their work.
The entries will be judged and awards given for the Best of Show and First Place for each of the seven categories. There are also three Patron’s Choice Awards where all patrons are given a ballot and asked to vote for their three favorite works of art.
