Anything Goes Show - Feb. 9 to March 13, 2021
The New Braunfels Art League Gallery special show, Anything Goes, is an open themed show that includes any and all subject matter and art media. This year's show truly captures the wide variety of beautiful artwork and the amazing talent of our New Braunfels, Texas artists.
This year's Anything Goes show was judged by Judy Simon. Here are her comments about this show:
"This show was a wonderful mix of styles, techniques and subject matter. There were many great pieces which made it difficult to choose the best in each category. When I judge, I look at a variety of aspects for each piece. These can include composition, color, mastery of media used, continuity, uniqueness, light source, contrast, highlights and shadows and often times the most important, emotional pull to the piece. I felt that this show had all of these qualities in the work displayed and those pieces that I chose for each category reflected that. It is a beautiful show."
