Call For Entries: The Robeson Art Guild (RAG) is accepting entries for En Plein Air, our Third exhibition of 2023, featuring work showcasing the tonal qualities, color, loose brushwork, and softness of form of the changing details of weather and light that artists capture when they work outside, in the open air.
|
Special Announcement
|
Watch for further information and the opportunity to register for upcoming master classes in preparation for the En Plein Air exhibition! Class participation is not required to enter artwork in the exhibition.
|
|
|
The Robeson Art Guild will be supporting our regional artists in preparation of work for this exhibition by sponsoring Dr. Ellen Burke’s Artist Residency in late April for our member artists. Artist registrations will be required: spaces are limited. Dr. Burke's residency will be held in the gardens of Dr. Paul Baker's home at 1401 Elm Street, Lumberton.
|
The residency classes will be for two days; the hours will be from 10:00 am-4:00 PM with an hour for lunch and an hour for personal sketching. Artists will return to our garden location and work in their medium of choice but keeping the application of paint in “wash” consistency. Dr. Burke will open each class with notes and demos and help our artists work to achieve their distinct value, texture, visual images. The second day of work on location will end at 3:00 PM with photos and discussion of each work.
|
NOTE: Attendance at Dr. Burke's classes is not required to participate in the En Plein Air exhibition.
Artists are encouraged to complete en plein air work at home and prepare the work to hang locally for the May 9th submission date of the En Plein Air exhibition. All art submissions for the En Plein Air Exhibition are to be made at the Robeson Art Guild House, 109 W. 9th Street, Lumberton, NC 28359.
