Debbie Hart Awards
Debbie Hart was the original founder of Excelsior Art on the Lake.
In her memory, The Debbie Hart Award is given to four artists, every year, who exemplify Debbie's spirit and values. Every category is taken into consideration, but since there are only four awards, each category may not be represented in the final awards selection.
Each winner receives a cash prize and will be invited back the following year with jury and single booth fee waived.
A designated team of jurors, each with a unique background in the field of art, will begin the jurying process.
Congratulations to 2024 recipients:
