We are being sponsored by multiple ViBe locations and will be drawing or painting on their premises. There will be first, second and third prizes as well as a people’s choice award. Artwork will be displayed at the Virginia Beach Public Library for the month of June and then be moved to the Artists Gallery for another month.
