From more than 500 submissions, 100 pieces of art ranging from pottery to photography to digital art were selected and displayed at the AZ Gallery in St. Paul. For the exhibition's opening, winning artists were awarded more than $9,000 in prizes and scholarships. The event is sponsored by JCI St. Paul, a civic organization dedicated to supporting and developing young leaders.
