CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Robeson Art Guild (RAG) is accepting entries for the Summer Living 2025 Exhibition on Tuesday July 15 at RAG (109 W 9th St., Lumberton), from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The theme for Summer Living 2025 is to embrace the playful energy of summer, explore and enjoy life’s artistic discoveries. As Henri Matisse noted, “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” How will our artists capture the colors of spring and summer flowers, shimmering water, and summer sunsets?
The Exhibition opens July 24th with a reception at the Guild House. Join us at 6:30 pm! Join us for a lovely summer evening opening.
Champ Saint-Amand is set to provide the music for the evening reception!
