Umbrella Exhibition winners

Columbia Art Center hosted an Umbrella Exhibition as part of Columbia International Day on July 26. Participants decorated golf umbrellas with the theme Fables and Folklore Around the World.

Artists ages 5 and up participated individually or as a pair or group. A panel of two professional judges and one community member judged the entries on the basis of originality, composition and theme interpretation. In addition to the jurors' awards, the exhibition featured viewers' choice awards for the best entries in each category.

The winning entries are listed below.
