Beyond the Barrel: Niagara Falls 125

In honor of the City of Niagara Falls 125th anniversary, the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center is presenting an art exhibit with the theme on Niagara Falls from May 5 - August 6.  A juried show that will offer prizes in various categories, the NACC has been hosting the Beyond the Barrel art show for several summers. 

This is the first time since 2014 that I have entered artwork into the show, and I'm glad to say that the jurors accepted it.  Usually the show has an open theme but this year it is understandable that there is one concerning--what else?--Niagara Falls and all that may offer to one's imagination.

I picked up a previous idea from an earlier drawing and incorporated it into the artwork using bits and pieces of Niagara Falls history and legacy.  The judges selected this for "The Michael Kudela Tribute Award for Excellence in Mixed Media."
