Vermilion art contest is All Washed Up
The creation of unique sculptures based on pieces of driftwood is the focus of “All Washed Up,” an art contest in Vermilion on July 31. The event attracted more than 50 submitting artists in 2019, and following last year’s online-only version, “All Washed Up” returns to Exchange Park in downtown Vermilion. Judging for the pieces will take place and attendees can vote for the People’s Choice award to be given at the end of the event. 10am-3pm.
