Sixty-one works were featured, including photography, paintings, drawings, sculptures and creative crafts. Twenty-three members of the guild participated in the exhibition judged by local artist Janis Brothers.

"I'm thrilled that we have this many wonderful entrees and range of talent," said Janey Rasor, chair of the event. "It's amazing how much great talent we have not only in this group, but in our area."

Taking first place honors was Guild member John Rice with his painting entitled "Mert."

Second place went to Anda Chance with her piece "Autumn," and third place was awarded to Nell Moores for her stitching "Doves Eyes and Bars."

Eileen Box was awarded the merit award for her work "Golden Reflection."

Best of show was awarded to Jeffrey Smart Baisden for her piece "Adjourned at a Glance."

The Suwannee Trio graced the Sunday audience with music. Trio musicians included William Slaughter (bass), Patt Slaughter (violin) and Nancy Allen on piano.

"We had a fantastic turnout of artists," said Marlene Mitchell, Guild president. "It was a wonderful show. We would also like to thank the Suwannee River Regional Library for the use of the facility and their continued support of the arts."

Featured artwork will be displayed at the public library until Feb. 12.
