Several artists received prizes Friday evening for the work they submitted to the Southern Heartland Art Gallery’s Artful Harvest show.
Southern Heartland Art Guild memberr Susan Adams addressed guests of the well-attended reception as they nibbled on delicious treats prepared by members of the Heartland Women’s Club.
"We are very proud of this show," Adams said. "It’s the first we’ve had at the gallery."
The inaugural show last year was held at the Newton County Library. This year guild members received 147 entries — double the number in last year’s show.
Adams thanked everyone who helped receive, hang and judge the pieces. SHAG Chair Margaret Warfield presented the awards.
