The Fall Into Winter 2025 Exhibition opened Thursday, September 25th with a great reception, with music by Champ Saint-Amand’s duo and our first Community Potluck. The exhibit is open through November 13, so if you weren’t able to make it to the reception, stop by and take a look for yourself – we need your votes for the People’s Choice Award!
Nineteen local artists entered artwork ranging from lovely paintings to beautiful beadwork, to stunning pottery pieces – with community and the seasons playing a prominent role! Judge Nila Chamberlain had her work cut out selecting the winners, including the special Community Scenes Award and four honorable mentions.
Nila, a true friend of the Robeson Art Guild, not only made very considered selections for her awards, but also provided thoughtful comments on all the entries. We were very fortunate to have her as judge for the Fall Into Winter exhibition! In her own work, Nila creates art works in multiple mediums and uses both representation and abstraction. She continues to experiment with incompatible materials pouring, layering, stamping and combining to create heavily textured shapes and patterns. She works in both two and three dimensions and often creates larger work (4’X3’ and larger). Until you can come by and see the originals, here are her award selections. All of the entries still available for sale will be posted on our auction site soon.
