W.A.A. Call for Artists: 28th Juried Spring Art Show and Sale

Local artists are being encouraged to enter a major art show which features more than four-thousand dollars in prizes. The Juried Spring Art Show and Sale -- sponsored by the Wilmington Art Association -- is held annually during the Azalea Festival and is open to both amateur and professional artists. This year's show is slated for April 9 - 11 at St. James Episcopal Church on Dock Street in Wilmington, but interested artists need to register no later than March 15. The show is open to all artists, 18 and over and any two-dimensional artwork may be submitted with the exception of computer-generated works and stained glass. Non-refundable entry fees are 30-dollars for W.A.A. members and 40-dollars for non-members. For a copy of the show's "Prospectus," including detailed entry guidelines, artists should visit the W.A.A. website at: www.wilmington-art.org. The 28th Annual Juried Spring Art Show and Sale will be judged by Paula Frizbe, a well-known professional artist and teacher from Franklin, Tennessee. On being an artist, Frizbe says: "To me, the whole idea of creating art is to respond to and then convey to others the world around us... The world is infinitely complex, and the continual search for and the surprise discovery of its mysteries is my motivation as an artist." The Wilmington Art Association has sponsored its art show during the Azalea Festival for the past 27-years. The W.A.A. is a non-profit organization seeking to educate its members and the public in the fine arts and provides community outreach services. Members have an outlet for their creative expression through the Association's gallery at 616 Castle Street in Wilmington. The gallery is open Tuesday thru Saturday between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
