Call for Entries for the New Year Celebration 2026!

Remember the cold snap last year that delayed everything?! Well, we’re getting off to a quicker start this year! Plus, it’s a very special year for the Art Guild – 2026 marks not only the 250th Anniversary of the United States, it is also the 5th Anniversary of the Robeson Art Guild! Time to party!! Start by getting your entries in for the New Year Celebration 2026 Exhibition! Intake is Tuesday, January 13 and the Opening Reception will be Thursday, January 22!
The exhibition runs through March 5th and with what a special year this is, there are going to be surprises along the way. If you haven’t signed up for the newsletter, now is a good time!
The theme for the New Year Celebtation is what this year means to you, artists and art lovers alike. Perhaps you are inspired by opportunities for new beginnings, or maybe the imminent arrival of Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t matter, just share your vision and enthusiasm with others. Anything is welcome that celebrates the promise of this New Year, being good to ourselves and those we love, and that helps to raise spirits after the long, rather tumultuous winter. Let’s have a good time and enjoy the brighter, lengthening days!
As we look forward to the New Year, check out the 2026 Planning Calendar – you have plenty of time to decide on the perfect pieces to create for the upcoming shows, and to let us know if we’re missing an opportunity! Things may change a bit as we hear from Guild members and the community, but we’ll keep you posted and updated. See you soon!

We’re Planning for the 2026 Quarterly Meetings!
Watch this space and the newsletters for the upcoming schedule for the 2026 Quarterly Members Meetings – and new opportunities! We’re looking forward to a busy, fun New Year, our Fifth Anniversary! Join us, participate, and let us know what you would like to see!
A special Thank You for the volunteers who help decorate for the holidays – and who helped take the decorations down as we started the New Year!
And a heartfelt and belated Thank you to all the hardy volunteers who help with intake and setup for exhibitions, events, and classes! We could not survive without you! Thank you!
Thank you Everyone! 2025 was a great year and 2026, well, that will be even better!
