The exhibition will feature nearly 100 artists’ works in a variety of mediums – including oils, watercolors, acrylics, sculptures, ceramics, and glass.

"This year’s featured artist is Philadelphia area resident Liz Finley," an art show press release said. "Finley is known for her rich, colorful seascapes and landscapes of Philadelphia and its surroundings, and for interesting takes on the still life. A strong sense of composition and subject knowledge combines with a lively, creative color scheme to produce vibrant images that are realistic with a lean towards impressionistic."

Learn more about Finley online at her website.

Denick Herrin will be chairing this year's art show.
