Talented local artists showcased handcrafted knitting, weaving, painted works, and a variety of other unique creations, highlighting the wide range of artistic talent found throughout the West End. The holiday weekend exhibit was presented with the support of the Rainforest Council for the Arts. This display pictured features creations by Tom Sewid.
