A Record Number of Local Artists Participate

The City of Hazelwood’s Community Enrichment Commission (CEC) broke a record by having 43 artists participate in the 15th Annual Community Art Fair held this past Saturday at the Hazelwood Community Center from 10 am to 2 pm.  The previous record of 35 participants was achieved at last year’s event.  Despite a brief rain shower, a steady flow of people came to view the artists’ talent during the entire time.

For this year’s event, the CEC asked two professional art teachers to be the judges to review all the entries and select the top finishers for the following four art categories: Portraits/Real Life; Still Life/Landscape; Fantasy/Science Fiction; and Abstract/Non-Objective.  Ms. Amelia Galbreath and Dave Reeb accepted the invitations.  Galbreath has been an art teacher at the Hazelwood West High School for over 14 years.  Reeb is an art teacher for a middle school in the Fort Zumwalt School District in St. Charles County.

The top finishers and honorable mentions are listed below:
