Relocated from its previous home at nearby BIG ARTS, the annual exhibit and sale offered everything an art lovers heart could desire -— oil and acrylic paintings, watcrcolors, photogra- phy, sculpture, textiles, fabrics and mixed media artwork — along with vendors selling snacks, sodas, sweets and everything in between. "It looks like there's a pretty good crowd coming in already," said Sissi Janku, an artist who has resided on Sanibel for the past 10 years. "There's a lot of movement going on, people inquiring.about my work. I'm lucky because I have a pretty good follow- * ing on the island, so I'm expecting a good turnout this weekend." Janku, who is currently showing her works at Island Style Gallery, brought several kinds of artwork lo the two-day show, including her trademark hand-painted win- dow frames. "I'm doing some more furniture pieces now," she said, point- ing to a desk which had been adorned with her tropical land- JEFF LYS1AK scape-inspired paintings.
