IRON MOUNTAIN - Art for All 2012 was held at Bay College West in Iron Mountain on Saturday. Patrons from all over visited the show, which was held in honor of Margaret " Magee" Johnson.
Forty-seven exhibitors provided a wide variety of fine art displays for the public to enjoy and purchase. Vocalists, musicians, and performers offered entertainment throughout the day. Children and their parents had fun painting masks. The silent auction raised funds that will be used for art education programs sponsored by the Dickinson County Council for the Arts.
More than $1,000 was awarded to this year's participating artists.
"The quality of the art work was amazing," said judges Mark Annoye and Teresa Bartel of Green Bay, Wis. "There was a nice variety. It was a very, very nice show."
Bill Wiard's wood products won the Best of Show. The First National Bank and Trust of Iron Mountain sponsored the accompanying $175 prize.
The $175 People's Choice Award was sponsored by Northern Michigan Bank and was won by Dan Recla for his metal sculptures.
