The Arts of the Inland art show “Inspirations” celebrated its artists on Friday, March 3rd at the Barron Park House Gallery. The show featured original paintings, photography, and mixed media pieces which were judged by Alliance of the Arts (Fort Myers) Instructor Leo Johnson. Johnson said “This was one of the hardest shows I’ve ever judged.” The winners were annouced in two categories: Photography and Painting, and then a Best in Show in each category.
