Judges for Dhahran's 16th Annual Art Show, Dianne Scott, Ruth Byrne, and Billie Ritter, pause before a display of oils and try to make their choice among the many worthy entries that graced the open-air sidewalk exhibition held at the Dhahran Patio.
Pioneering Spirit
A wide array of arts is displayed, including paintings, photos, pottery, and more.

A clear November day and a colorful display of pictures, handicraft, collage, sculpture, pottery, and jewelry gave the Dhahran Art Show a festive air last Thursday, November 5.
A continuous flow of art lovers throughout the day appraised more than 250 entries that turned the Dhahran Patio into a sidewalk display.
The skill of the potter at his wheel fascinated onlookers as Don Adamaitis demonstrated wheel-thrown red clay pottery, and Vi Deines gave points on how a shard collage is made.
Today is Armistice Day.
