"'Young Guns' gives the public a glimpse of seven younger exhibitors whose inspired visions will define the next chapter of artists at the Festival of Arts,” said Exhibit Curator Pat Sparkuhl.

The art ranges from explorations in time-lapse photography, 3-D art made from recycled materials and paintings that capture the atmosphere of the landscapes they depict. This exhibit illustrates the skills developed by these artists whose fascination with common scenes and objects are transformed into fresh and unexpected results.
