The Mother Lode Art Association (MLAA) will hold its 66th Anniversary Juried Art Show at the Sonora Opera Hall, 250 S. Washington, Sonora, September 27 through 29, 2019. The proceeds from the show benefit Tuolumne County school art programs.
Juried by renowned artists and teachers, Lori Hanson and Deborah Barr, the event will showcase exceptional local and regional artists’ works as well as a selection of high school artists’ pieces. Monetary awards and ribbons will be presented to the first, second and third jurors’ choices in five categories: Acrylics/Oil, Watercolor, Mixed Media/Graphics, 3D Sculpture/Pottery and Pastels. The top three student works will also win prizes. In addition, prizes will be awarded for the Best of Show, Best Foothill Favorites Theme and Peoples’ Choice.
