Celebration of Cedar Key, the current art show at the Cedar Key Arts Center opened May 7. Not only were there conventional entries ranging from watercolors to bronze sculpture, but there was a show within a show, an array of "matchbook assemblages."


Winners of the main show were: First Prize, Sunrise at Honeymoon House, a photo by Sandy Heckler; Second Prize, Windswept, a watercolor by Sandi Allen; Third Prize, Seahorse Key, a silk wall hanging by Virginia Stevenson. Polymath Jack Gargan judged the show and illuminated his reasons for picking the winners.

Connie Nelson, co-owner of the Suwannee Triangle Gallery, orchestrated the show within a show which required that each entry in the matchbook assemblage category include a matchbook and be no more than three inches wide. The creations ranged from sublime to educational. In the spirit of spontaneity and artistic joie de vivre, the entries were untitled and unjudged.

The show will be open until the end of the month
