So, what is art and what is design? The answers are here....

The first annual art | design show was fantastic!

Thanks to all of you who submitted artwork and/or attended.

We had had seven industry professionals juror the show to determine which pieces made into the show and which pieces were the best.


The jurors consisted of a range of industry professionals:
Pat Barr, Artist and Retired Educator
Lynn Baker, Freelance Graphic Artist
Doug Morris, Creative Director, Thielen IdeaCorp
Michael Parola, Graphic Designer, Parola Design
Jeff Steele, Product Developer and Artist
Rob Weibel, Artist
Ron Wigginton, Artist-Land Studio, Retired Landscape Architect and Art Professor

All of the people who visited the show had an opportunity to vote on what is art and what is design.

The list below is in order from art to design. It is a continuum. Every piece had votes in both categories. So none of the items are purely art or purely design.

These results are based on viewer feedback -- starting with the most art-like and ending with the most design-like.
