The Neptunian Woman's Club's 44th Annual Art & Photography Show showcased and honored the work of more than 100 local student artists on Sunday.

Students, parents, teachers, and community members mingled and enjoyed refreshments at the clubhouse as they admired a total of 209 art and photography works by students.

Established in 1978 by Neptunian Woman's Club member Elizabeth Dorsey, the first “Art Tea” vision was an opportunity to recognize student artists from kindergarten through 12th grade. Now a longstanding tradition in Manhattan Beach, the art contest aims to showcase up-and-coming artistic talent in the local community. The contest is unique among many local art contests because it offers cash prizes for the top winners.
