Multi-Media Juried Exhibition Opening

This year’s show is being juried by artist and arts advocate Annah Lee, who will be curating the show to select the works for a cohesive exhibition. Judging the awards will take place in person and then the winners will be announced at the opening reception.

Annah Lee has worked in the visual arts field in her hometown of Raleigh, NC for the past 10 years. She has just recently joined the town of Holly Springs as Manager of the Cultural Center. Annah received her master’s degree in art history and completed her PhD coursework at UNC-Chapel Hill. Driven by a cultural history approach and a strong knowledge of various materials and artistic processes, Lee applies this experience to her curatorial and management method. Having forged strong interpersonal relationships with artists, institutions, and community members to ensure programming is relevant to our communities, Lee programs art and artists who respond to current cultural issues. Using art as a lens to explore and understand problems, behaviors, and events we collectively face, while placing a strong emphasis on process and technical mastery, Lee continues to expand access for all to engage with art as a vehicle to appreciate and understand human experience.

The show will open on Thursday, August 7 with a reception from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Truist Event Gallery. The opening reception and exhibition are both free and open to the public.

The show is sponsored again this year by Farris & Thomas Law. Cash prizes of $500 for first place, $250 for second, and $100 for third will be awarded.
