The Spring Judged Art show was on the walls at Rainbow Stew in Yucca Valley from April 15 to May 10, 2023.
Our seasonal art shows are open to the public and judged by an invited professional creator or instructor and they provide a fantastic glimpse of what our local creators have been focused on.
A total of sixteen (16) entries were received that came in from nine (9) participants. Entry numbers are still light and we are hoping to drum up excitement for future shows. Please pass along the word for upcoming judged exhibits! More participation increases variety. We are challenging one another to seek out new scenes. We are making note of new and renewed techniques. Participation in these judged shows hones our skills as we learn from one another.
Because of the limited participation, the entries were sorted into a SINGLE category of with first, second, third, honorable mention, best of show, and president's award given out. Moneys received during intake go entirely toward prizes.

If you find yourself out and about, make sure to stop by Rainbow Stew and enjoy the Judged Photo show. It will be displayed until June when we transition into the Members-Only "Flowers" exhibit!
We all want to take advantage of this great space because it sees a constant stream of traffic throughout the week. Chaparral Artists see sales through this venue, so do not pass up the opportunity to hang your art with us when you can during these shows.
Stay safe and continue creating!
