In addition to the normal artist awards, this exhibition features our Second Annual Community Scenes Award! While the overall theme of the Fall Into Winter exhibition is the change of seasons as summer gives way to autumn and winter, this is also the time of year for homecomings and other special events in our local communities that make them home. From harvests and farmers markets to school reopenings, Powwows, family gatherings - and some large family reunions! We are excited to see what you share!

Champ Saint-Amand is set to provide the music for the opening reception!

Watch this space for other opportunities to see some of the rich local arts that bloom around Robeson County. We love Lumberton and the warm reception we have here, the only thing better is to share what comes into the Guild - often from the local communities around the County in which the artists themselves live. Let us know if you have some suggestions for venues in your local communities that may be interested in hosting a short visit. Thanks in advance!
