JOIN US for our next Juried Art & Photo Exhibition – EARTH to Bowen from April 26 to May 16!
Huge prizes of $500 will be awarded in the categories of Photography and Fine Art (2D & 3D) celebrating Earth and its vistas, outdoors, mountains, forests, sports, outdoor activities, and flora and fauna. Come to our Awards Reception April 26, from 4-6pm, and prize awards will be presented around 5pm. Second Place prizes are $200 and Third Place includes prize awards. Be sure to bring friends and family to this free event and enjoy an exhibit full of wonderful works by North Georgia artists and photographers. There will be plenty of snacks and refreshments for everyone.
The EARTH to Bowen show will be a spectacular display of over 80 photographic and fine art works selected from 158 entries from all over North Georgia. These entries represent an extremely wide range of artistic skill and ability. To select items to be in the exhibit, there is a review of over-all artistic excellence of all entries. To determine that artistic excellence, these components were considered heavily: composition/design, focal point, use of light/color, originality, creativity, feeling, and choice of subject matter. When a work is not selected for an exhibit it does not necessarily mean that the jury does not like or respect it. As with any competition, that line falls is always, at least partially, determined by space limitations.
The major goal of the Bowen is to both encourage and challenge artists to continuously strive for artistic excellence. If your entry was not accepted for this exhibit, it should not be taken as a defeat but should be considered simply as a challenge to continue to stretch for a higher level of artistic skill and “eye” for excellence. We encourage artists and photographers to continue their path which leads to the rewards of excellence and to keep “throwing your hat in the ring” of competitions. Competitions are a healthy component of the growth process, creating opportunities to set and achieve goals, setting forth examples to follow, and rewarding excellence! [excerpts from Salon Int’l]
