Mooresville Arts announces winners of 48th SpringFest Judged Show & Competition

Mooresville Arts has revealed the winners of its 48th annual SpringFest Judged Show & Competition, featuring 123 works by 66 regional artists. Tina Vincent of Charlotte secured first place for her collage titled "Black Tea," while Vanessa Thorman and Chelsea Demarest took second and third place, respectively. The exhibition, judged by Shain Gallery owner Sybil Wornall, showcases a diverse range of media including pottery, watercolor, and oil paintings.

As one of the organization's longest-running traditions, SpringFest serves as a vital platform for local talent in the North Carolina region. By facilitating art sales that benefit both the nonprofit gallery and the participating artists, the event reinforces the economic and cultural health of the local community while providing public access to contemporary regional craft.
