Where art and community meet under the redwoods.
September 20-21, 2025 | 10AM - 5PM
All our artists have already won simply by jurying in to this prestigious Festival, but each year we go one step farther and award four exhibiting artists a Special Recognition Award. The award comes with a $500 check and automatic entry into next year's Festival.
The award winners are selected by a panel of three highly qualified judges, each of whom rates each artist independently and then gathers for a spirited discussion. The four awards are presented at a charming artists' reception on the first night of the Festival.
The 2025 Best In Show Award Winners are (from left to right):
Leonardo Nunez, Printmaking, Booth #6
Warren Agee, Photography, Booth #56
Varya McMillan, Painting, Booth #43
Paul Nzalamba, Mixed Media, Booth #48
Congratulations!
