The Summer Living 2025 Exhibition opened Thursday, July 24 and runs through September 11th at the Robeson Art Guild, 109 W 9th Street, Lumberton, NC. Artists from around Robeson County and beyond responded with a lovely variety of paintings and pottery reflecting their personal takes on this special season. There are 27 new pieces for you to enjoy, and a couple of special treats while you are here!

Judge Babette Augustin selected the winners and awarded a number of honorable mentions. She was kind enough to provide brief comments on each of the works submitted, an effort much appreciated by the individual artists. The comments will be published shortly in a separate post.

BONUS! - The People's Choice Award for Artist's Choice / Remembrance Poppy!
In addition to the awards for the Summer Living pieces, we were excited to reveal the winner of the People's Choice Award for the Artist's Choice Exhibition that closed on July 10th. More than 60 votes were received from Guild visitors over the run of that exhibit, with the landslide victory going to Anthony Greene for his pair Black Ecology 1 & 2. Anthony has agreed to leave his paintings with us through the run of Summer Living, so make sure to stop by and see them when you visit!

When you stop by the Guild House to see the exhibits, be sure to take few minutes to study the very special Tribute to Montford Point Marines by Melvin Morris. Melvin kindly loaned us his special painting for the Remembrance Poppy exhibition. It may not be here much longer as Melvin is nearing completion of the renovations on the Inner Peace Gallery downtown.

Art Group: Meets Mondays from 12:30 - 2:30 pm
Art Supplies Swap/Share Box
The Swap Box continues to be popular, with members contributing and taking out a range of fun... stuff. From art supplies to try, a nice table easel, books, magazines, whatever who may catch their attention or no longer fit their needs. It's a good way to explore. There is no charge, just remember, if you take something, please bring something in for others - and if you don't need or want what you take, well, just bring it back! The box is in the classroom, next to the art group supplies.
