Artists in northwest North Carolina are invited to enter the 41st annual Northwest Artist’s Exhibit Juried Competition. The highly popular exhibit is sponsored by the Wilkes Art Gallery in North Wilkesboro, one of the region’s oldest arts organizations and a driving force in promoting the arts and cultural resources in northwest North Carolina for more than 50 years.
Each year the competition showcases the diverse talents of local and regional artists and serves as a public introduction for many artists who are new to the area. The exhibit attracts a wide range of artists who may choose to enter any or all of three categories: Division I: Paintings, Drawings and Lithographs; Division II: Sculpture, Pottery and Metals; and Division III: Mixed Media, Collage and Fibers.
More than $1,000 in awards plus a prize for Best in Show will be presented at this year’s competition. The exhibit will be on display Oct. 23-Dec. 18. The juror this year will be Susan Jespersen, a resident of Ashe County who specializes in the lyrical abstract expressionist approach, which involves colorful brushwork with an absence of premeditated form and structure.
Artists may submit up to nine pieces of artwork, three in each of the three categories. This competition is open to artists in the northwest region of North Carolina. Each entry is $15 but that is waived for current members of the Wilkes Art Gallery. Memberships to the gallery will be available.
Artists interested in entering the competition should contact the gallery at 336- 667-2841 or email ashley@wilkesartgallery.org for a prospectus. Entries will be accepted from Oct. 1-Oct. 15 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. by appointment only during business hours.
To learn more about the gallery, located at 913 C Street, visit www.wilkesartgallery.org or the gallery, which is open to the public Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
