"We get a lot of feedback, especially from parents and grandparents. That says they can't always get to the school to see an event or to see a small exhibit. This way they can come to the streets. They can have a dinner with their family and actually come into the gallery to see the art hanging on the wall," said Deb Fischer, gallery director.
Winners of this year's art exhibit are:
- 1st Place - Ella Morgan from Botkins
- 2nd Place - Sophie Bajwa from Botkins
- 3rd Place - Veronica Fiely from St. Marys
- Best of Show - Victoria Mescher of Fort Loramie
- Honorable Mentions: Lilly Bayless from Botkins, Alice Wentz from Jackson Center, Gabby McInnis from New Knoxville, Ty Koenig from New Knoxville, and Lillian Hernaster from St. Marys
The walls are covered from top to bottom with 164 pieces of artwork.
The art exhibit runs until February 1, 2025. The Riverside Art Center is located at 3 W Auglaize St, Wapakoneta, OH 45895
