More than 150 people attended the Lake Martin Living Art & Photo Contest reception Sept. 28, raising over $1000 for Dadeville Performing Arts Center while celebrating more than 60 local artists who entered a total of 103 pieces.
The winners of this year’s contest include local photographer Jim Denney and artist Mark Mortensen. Denney’s photo of a bald eagle on a rock in Lake Martin took first place in the photography category, and Mortensen’s impressionistic oil painting of a cottage in a field of flowers won the blue ribbon in art.
