The 58th annual Corn Hill Arts Festival wrapped up in Rochester, New York, on July 12, drawing hundreds of artists from across the country for a two-day celebration of visual art, food, and community events, according to Democrat and Chronicle.
California jeweler Karen Brown took first place in the jewelry category, one of several winners recognized across multiple art disciplines at the festival, Ithaca Journal reported.
Hundreds of Artists Competed Across Multiple Categories
The festival showcased artwork from artists spanning the entire country. Competitors were judged across a range of categories, from jewelry to other visual arts disciplines. Winners were announced after the two-day event concluded on July 12, according to The Times Herald.
The full list of finalists and winners is available on the festival's official website. Democrat and Chronicle noted that the event drew a large number of entries, making competition fierce across all categories.
Emerging Artists Expo Gave New Talent a Spotlight
One of the festival's key features was its Emerging Artists Expo. The expo was designed specifically for artists who are new to the professional art world. It gave them a dedicated space to show their work alongside more established artists, Ithaca Journal reported.
The expo reflects the festival's broader goal of supporting the next generation of working artists. It offered newer artists both exposure and the chance to compete in a high-profile setting.
5K Race and Food Contest Rounded Out the Weekend
The festival was more than just an art show. A 5K race gave attendees an active way to participate in the weekend. A free food and drink contest was also part of the lineup, adding a community celebration feel to the two-day event, according to The Times Herald.
Together, the race and food contest drew in visitors who may not have come solely for the art. The mix of events helped make the Corn Hill Arts Festival a broader community gathering, Democrat and Chronicle noted.

California-based jeweler Karen Brown was among the standout winners, earning first place in the jewelry category. Her win was one of the most highlighted results from the weekend's competition, according to Ithaca Journal.
