The show was on display from August 5th through September 25th with the awards reception being celebrated on August 19th. Mayor Joyce Craig and State Representative Joshua Query attended the awards ceremony and helped to honor the participants. Mayor Craig, who became the first woman to be elected Mayor of Manchester, was especially proud of this city hall showcase. Mayor Craig also posted to social media after the reception that, “Tonight’s National Arts Program Employee Art Show had an incredible turnout!” and “I loved seeing all of the fantastic talent displayed by city and school district employees, and their families.”
