Judge Paul Baker selected the winners from a very strong field of artwork, both 2-D and 3-D treasures. The winners know who they are, but the rest of you will have to wait a few more days until the opening reception!
|
We are excited to announce that Raymond Hunt, American Legion District Commander for Robeson and Scott Counties, will present the awards personally! We are so pleased to be part of local efforts recognizing the significant sacrifices made by our veterans over the years, in many different theatres. Many of us have memories of those who have given their lives in service of our country - let us never forget their sacrifice.
|
The presentation for this, our very first of a new annual Memorial Day tradition, the Remembrance Day Poppy Award and other exhibition awards will take place at about 7:00 pm at the Guild House, 109 W. 9th Street, Lumberton. While you are here, be sure to vote for your favorite entries. The People's Choice Award will be announced on July 10th, when the Artist's Choice Exhibition closes.
|
Betty Fisher will provide the music for the evening; there will be light refreshments - and be sure to check out the progress on the new Pottery Studio!
|
By the way, back by popular demand is the online auction! The auction opens Thursday evening and all of the for-sale Artist's Choice entries - including the Remembrance Poppy artworks! - will be available online for secure bids! We will be happy to answer any questions you may have!
|
Once again, we expect to see a steady stream of people over the evening as local supporters of the arts move between 2 wonderful openings on the same night. Whether you visit before our awards ceremony or after, don't miss the Robeson County Arts Council Gallery opening of "From the Garden, a Floral Exhibition" that will run through June 23.

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.
