Call for Entries: Artist’s Choice Exhibition -CLOSED
The Robeson Art Guild (RAG) has closed entries for the Artist’s Choice Exhibition! We have 21 entries – of a wide variety of mediums! Mark your calendars for the opening reception next Thursday, May 23rd. You’ll be amazed!
The theme for Artist’s Choice is creativity, and how each individual artist chooses to express and share the work with us. Several artists mentioned that they were working on something special and they delivered. The Featured Artist is different this time, too. A showcase of three of Shantonia Bullard’s students. Make sure to save some time to see what they’ve been working on.
The Exhibition opens May 23 with a reception at the Guild House. Join us at 6:30 pm! The Exhibition runs through July 11, 2024.
Music by Susie Swenson on piano. Refreshments sponsored by Marilyn and Larry Pope.
It will be a lovely evening – whatever the weather!

The Featured Artist Gallery during the Artist’s Choice Exhibition will showcase artworks created by students of Shantonia Chavis Bullard. Check back soon for more information on the talented work of these young people!

Spring Festival, A Beautiful Exhibition
April 25 – May 9, 2024
With the Special Robeson County Artists Exhibition now open at the Contemporary Art Museum Raleigh, we are turning our heads homeward with the Spring Festival Exhibition at the Guild House. The theme for Spring Festival is simply Spring, that beautiful time of year here in North Carolina, full of sunshine, flowers – and pollen, but let’s not dwell on that! Stop in and see how each artist interpreted the season. There are oils, acrylics, collages, watercolor, and even a needlework piece representing the fiber-arts, a first for one of our exhibitions!
Judge Babette Augustin was the juror for this exhibition – and we were all pleased to have her join us at the reception! Speaking of which, I hope you all had the chance to hear accordion player Betty Fisher fill the air with music! It was a very special evening.
The Spring Festival Exhibition opened April 25th with the reception, an update on the Robeson County Artists Exhibition at CAM, and recognition of donors and Artist awards. This exhibition was a little shorter than most – the Spring Festival Exhibition ran through May 9, 2024.
Even if you missed the Spring Festival Exhibition, there is always something new to at the Guild House, including in the shop! Donna Freeman has an array of new glass art pieces ranging from $10 on up, M.M. Andrson has some lovely cards just right for those special people in your life, and there are many lovely original boxes by Denise Siracusa, and an array of paintings, pottery, and carvings by local artists – even some books.
See you soon!
