The Graham Art Guild’s Lake Country Art Show, which brings together artists from Graham and neighboring towns, is now open at the Old Post Office Museum and Art Center and will run until the end of the month.
The juried show will feature paid-up members of local art clubs or guilds with works accepted in the following categories: oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, 3-D works, photography, pencil/pen and experimental works.
“Last year we had nearly 200 entries and I am thinking we may come close to that again,” GAG President Cynthia Pinnell said. “We have opened this up to other art guilds, Wichita Falls, Granbury, Weatherford and Mineral Wells.”
The president said this will be the third year the show has opened to other area art guild members to participate.
The Lake Country Art Show reception will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10. At the reception, Juror Patty Rae Welborn will will announce her pick for best of show and ribbon winners for each media.
Welborn served as artist member president for the Center for Contemporary Arts in Abilene, and as a member of the Creative Arts Club in Abilene, the Texas Art Coalition and Texas Visual Arts Association.
The 2018 Lake Country Art Show featured over 190 entries from 42 area-based artists.
