The Ocean Shores Art Expo celebrated their 20th Anniversary with the appropriate theme “Celebration”. This year there were 172 art works in the Open Category from over 150 artists, 99 Primary School works, and 158 Secondary School works, all exhibited in the main hall of the Ocean Shores Community Centre. 

The Judges stated the works were of a very high quality for a local Community art exhibition. Over 250 patrons came through the door for Opening Night, with many more over the following two days. 

The exhibition will remain online for another 4 weeks providing further opportunities for sales. Over the weekend, 10 wonderful works were sold. The highest prize of $2,000, the Frank Mills Award was won by Mick Stovin with a charcoal on paper, # 83: “Unite a Nation”.

The Expo included many performances including very young talented dancers from the Brunswick Valley School of Dance to the magnificent vocals of The Songbirds, all showcasing their creative talent.
