We are running a bit late right now due to some technical issues caused by malware. Thankfully, that seems to be fixed, but a mole sticks its head up occasionally, so please let us know if you notice anything, well, weird. Now, on to the update!
The New Year Celebration 2026 Exhibition opened a few days late due to the cold weather. There are some very nice new pieces celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the United States AND helping mark our own anniversary milestone! The Robeson Art Guild turns FIVE this year! Be sure to stop in and see these new works for yourself next week, before the exhibition closes on Thursday, March 5th.
James Bass, Ed.D, was the judge for the exhibition. Jim is a professional with a rich history of experience at UNCP, where he is the Executive Director of the Givens Performing Art Center. We are delighted that he agreed to judge another exhibition for us!
Jim selected first, second, third and fourth place awards from the entries. The exhibit include artwork from some familiar names (Bobbie Britt had a great day!) and from some newer names in the area!
We do our best with the photos, but they will never capture the true beauty of the originals! The online gallery will be up shortly, with all the entries available. Keep your eye out for the announcement!
