A total of 56 works in video, sculpture, painting, photography, and mixed-media will be exhibited in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery and the Rotunda Gallery. An additional award, the Night Owls Members’ Choice, will be given at the Night Owls event at the Athenaeum on Friday, September 1, 7:30 p.m. Members of the Athenaeum’s Night Owls, a membership group for young art and music enthusiasts, will select their favorite piece at the event.
