March 20 – May 8, 2025
CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Robeson Art Guild (RAG) is accepting entries for the Spring Festival Exhibition on Tuesday March 11 and March 13 at RAG (109 W 9th St., Lumberton), from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day. Click here to enter online.
The theme for Spring Festival is Spring, that beautiful time of year here in North Carolina, full of sunshine, flowers, and sometimes changeable weather lately. It has been an eventful year so far! If you have something you did for recent local events such as the Rumba on the Lumber that you would like to share, bring it in! We are looking forward to seeing how each of you interprets the season this year.
The Exhibition opens Thursday, March 20th with a reception and coincides this time with the First Quarter Members meeting. Join us at 6:30 pm at the Guild House. We promise: the business portion will be brief! There will be music, some food, and plenty of time to browse the exhibit and honor the winners!
The Spring Festival Exhibition runs through May 8, 2024.
Join us and celebrate the season!
Judge for Spring Festival: Carol Gradwohl
