May 23 – July 11, 2024
CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Robeson Art Guild (RAG) is accepting entries for the Artist’s Choice Exhibition on Tuesday May 14 at RAG (109 W 9th St., Lumberton), from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The theme for Artist’s Choice is creativity, and how each individual artist chooses to express and share the work with us. Several artists have mentioned that they are working on something special – we can’t wait to see what they (and you!) share with us.
The Exhibition opens May 23 with a reception at the Guild House. Join us at 6:30 pm! The Exhibition runs through July 11, 2024.
Music provided by Susie Swenson on piano!
Refreshments sponsored by Marilyn and Larry Pope.
It will be a lovely evening – whatever the weather!
