1952: ART COMPETITION

The Lehigh Valley Art Alliance hosts an annual Portrait of the Dairy Industry Competition, involving local residents, including amateurs and professionals. Sponsored by the Lehigh Valley Farmers Cooperative, the event assembles successful paintings for a permanent collection. Each year, a leading industry collaborates with the Art Alliance to set the competition's theme. The results are encouraging for both artists and officials.
