"Hooray For the Arts" evening sponsored by WCDNF

The Woman's Club of Danbury/New Fairfield held their 3rd "Hooray for the Arts" event this year at The Brookfield Craft Center. The 3rd Art Show was held on March 22. The Woman's Club of Danbury/New Fairfield raised $450.00 thru donations- including a bake sale.

The show was for students from 5 area high schools who wanted to participate in a juried art contest.

Pictured above are Howard Lasser- Director of The Brookfield Craft Center and Marlene Patren of Danbury- member and one of the organizers of the event.

The Brookfield Craft Center graciously hosted the event. The art pieces made by the students were from various media. Winners received ribbons and cash prizes. There were three First Prize winners, three Second Prize winners, 3 Third Prize winners along with "Best in Show".

The judges were Carol Rosenblum and Ron Turri- both retired art teachers from the Danbury Schools.

WCDNF would like to thank all the artists, The Brookfield Craft Center, and the High Schools for their participation in our 3rd Art Contest.
