2025 Featured Artist
The 2025 featured artist is Michael Cherepak of Lake Tapawingo, Missouri. With floral imagery as the starting point, Michael uses colorful strokes and forms that are an expression of a curious maker. "The flowers have been an imagery source I can use to express the care I have for the people around me. Subject matter that can be joyful, romantic, loving." Michael’s artwork will be featured on commemorative shirts, posters, and cards, and you can see his detailed pieces at the 2025 show starting, Friday May 2nd at 5 pm.
