The selections run "broad from charcoal drawings to oil to porcelain, sculpture and mixed media," said Lori Curtis, who's on the museum staff.

Attendees choose from about 45 works from Tennessee valley Art Association members - an increase in applicants from 2008, according to Curtis.

More programs through the art association may have led to that, said Mary Settle Cooney, executive director of the museum.

"We have an increase in member artists this year, and we have also increased our education programs for adult artists - and perhaps that had something to with it," she said.

"Every gallery that we have this year is full," Cooney said. One 25-foot painting helped with that in addition to bronze and ceramic works.

The exhibit is on display today through Aug. 21. At the reception today, guests will mingle amid live music and a summer favorite - ice-cold lemonade.

"Every year we think this is the best one yet, and I think we could say that again," Curtis said. "It seems to improve each year."
