Jennifer Watson won Best in Show.
A record 508 pieces of artwork were entered in this year's Florida Strawberry Festival Fine Art Show, and the youth division entries were tripled through the dedication of local art teachers who spent their own time organizing their students to have the opportunity to enter. The show was presented by the East Hillsborough Art Guild.
"We just love the next generation we are seeing through this venue," said Debra Bryant, Fine Art Show chair.
