What began 45 years ago with simple plywood panels at the old Mountlake Terrace High School gym has grown into an event that draws hundreds of artists from across the U.S. Sponsored by the Mountlake Terrace Arts Commission and the Friends of the Arts, Arts of the Terrace features more than 360 pieces of artwork this year, including paintings, miniatures, sculptures and photography.

The juried art show opened Saturday, Sept. 20, and runs through Sept. 27 at the Mountlake Terrace Library event rooms at 23300 58th Ave. W. Admission is free, and the exhibit is open to the public.

Arts Advisory Commission member Judy Ryan said there was enough funding this year to install special lighting that highlights all the artwork. In previous shows, the primary lighting were ceiling lights, she said.
