Art Exhibit on Display at FWB Library

Fort Walton Beach - The Fort Walton Beach Public Library invites 

residents to enjoy an exhibit of artwork by Lars Runar on display in 

the library’s lobby the entire month of August. Runar's interest in 

photography began while he was stationed in Guam with the
United States Air Force. He has won several prizes in nature 

photography at local competitions and also creates hand

colored portraits.

Later in his military career while working in the public affairs 

field in Germany, he became a photojournalist focusing on military 

activities and human interest stories. His photos and articles were 

published in the Stars and Stripes newspaper, the Intercom, a
command wide newspaper, as well as the Rhein-Main AB newspaper. 

He has also had a cover photo on the Inspector General Brief publication.

Runar has been successful in winning prizes in both national and local 

photo exhibitions. Recently he won Best of Show for a photo of a 

Cleopatra Calla-Lilly, and first place for a black and white print of a

lighthouse.

The library is located at 185 Miracle Strip Parkway, in downtown 

Fort Walton Beach at the corner of Eglin Parkway. Parking is on 

First Street to the North and Ferry Road to the East.
