The hottest art exhibit in town was at the Neptunian Woman's Club on Sunday as the club honored more than 200 student artists on Sunday in celebration of its 45th Annual Art & Photography Show.
Students, parents, teachers, and community members mingled and enjoyed
refreshments at the clubhouse as they admired works by K-12 students from Manhattan Beach schools.
Established in 1978 by Neptunian Woman's Club member Elizabeth Dorsey, the first “Art
Tea” began as 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.
This year's judges included Bettina Bogar, Shaun Fenn, Velia De Iuliis, Chloe Landis, Armelle Ngo, and Jo Salampessy.
Pictures of winning artwork can be seen below.
