Butler Urgent Care art contest winners announced

 


We apologize for the delay in art results! They are in! Given that Doc Henderson knows half the entrants- she recused herself from judging to make it fair. There were 3 impartial judges, all who judged based on the form attached and anonymously. All three are artists, one a professional, and one an art teacher- one from out of state and one from out of the county to make it as fair and balanced as possible because judging art is HARD. Points were added and prizes awarded by total points scored.
Each staff member did a "staff pick" of their personal favorite.
We will keep the art displayed until March 15th at which time it will be returned to the artists!
We absolutely invite the community to come see all the art- it is always best viewed in person!
