Local artists and vendors filled downtown Windermere and Town Hall with stunning works of art, musical performances, interactive experiences and live exhibitions for the 10th anniversary of the Windermere Fine Arts Show from March 1-2.

The two-day celebration of all forms of art welcomed art lovers and community members alike to take a stroll around Town Square to not only enjoy the cool spring weather but also to admire the one-of-kind pieces on display, which included oil paintings, chairs made of water skis and handmade jewelry.

Along with giving artists the opportunity to display their work to the community, the event also awarded artists with the show's top pieces with 1st, 2nd, 3rd and best-in-show ribbons. JIanlei Wang's portrait painting was awarded the best-in-show ribbon, Cristiam Ramos won the first-place ribbon, Lisa TeviaClark second and Jeremy Wubker third.
