EmilyAnn hosts butterfly art contest

From Staff Reports

The EmilyAnn Theatre & Gardens is brimming with butterflies.  Not actual butterflies just yet, those will arrive in a couple of weeks in time for the 16th Annual Butterfly Festival, but  rather butterfly art created by thousands of young artists from around the state.  Each year, the EmilyAnn  holds a Butterfly Art Contest in conjunction with the festival.  Students in grades K-12 submit entries which are juried by local artists.  Entries are submitted in two categories, fantasy and realistic. The butterfly chosen as Best in Show is featured on the t-shirt for the next year's festival.
