Several local artists attended the "Discover 2015 Art Show" reception at the Sidney Public Library Monday evening.
The Cheyenne County Art Guild hosted the event.
The top 25 artworks of the Association of Nebraska Art Clubs (ANAC) Annual Conference will be displayed through Nov. 30 and will continue to travel across the state.
Four pieces of art from the Cheyenne County Art Guild won Awards of Excellence. Judy McElroy's "Sure Delight," Ron Nordyke's "Convergence" and Jane Easterly's "Tucked in the Woods" and "Who's Cold?" were all selected to be part of the traveling show.
Nordyke's acrylic painting was awarded the Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) purchase award and will be placed in Kearney at the MONA collection representing Nebraska art.
The ANAC is the only club in the U.S. that supports all of the art clubs in the state. A conference is held each year where nationally known artists judge artwork from across the state.
This year, club president Pamela Hynek judged more than 300 pieces of art and narrowed it down to 25. The club is a way for Nebraska artists to network with each other and have their work noticed across the state.
The Cheyenne County Art Guild was created in 1972 to promote the arts in the Nebraska Panhandle and is one of the ANAC's largest participating clubs with nearly 30 members.
