Grant County Art Guild 31st Annual Purchase Prize Award Exhibit
From Friday, September 23, 2016 - 10:00am To Sunday, September 25, 2016 - 05:00am |
The theme of the show is "Realism Unleashed" and the “Best of Show” winning entry will be purchased for $1,500. Other significant cash prizes for the show help make this an enticing competition for New Mexico artists. It is always exciting to know who the honored artists are as well as to see the overall exceptional art that the show draws. This year’s show will be judged by Tucson, Arizona, artist Carole Andreen Harris. Carole will be offering a local three-day workshop on painting in all media on September 21, 22 and 23. All levels of artists are welcome to this workshop. Call 575-538-9462 or 575-534-2899 to reserve a spot. A spokeswoman for the Grant County Art Guild stated that the paintings entered will undoubtedly provide a judging challenge, due to their superior quality. In addition to the judge’s decisions, the public is invited to voice their opinion by voting for the People’s Choice Award. The 2016 Purchase Prize Show opens with a reception on Tuesday, September 20, at the Pinos Altos Art Gallery in the historic Hearst Church, 14 Golden Avenue, beginning at 5:30 p.m. There will be refreshments to enjoy as well as conversation with participating artists, comments from this year’s judge and lots of beautiful art! With the exception of the “Best of Show”, all art entries will be available for sale. The reception and viewing of the show is open to all.
