Hickory – Full Circle Arts is inviting all artists in the area to enter their work in its fall competition, “Colors of Autumn”. The theme is colors, both usual and unusual, for the autumn season. The art may be non-objective, representational, or anything in between.
The judge is Gabe Wilson, Curator for Exhibitions & Collections at Blowing Rock Art & History Museum (BRAHM). Gabe joined BRAHM in the spring of 2021, returning home to Appalachia after a decade of studying and working in the Midwest. A curator, art historian, and arts administrator, he received a BA in Art History and Cultural History from Vermont’s Marlboro College before completing his graduate study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and holds an MA in Modern & Contemporary Art History, Theory, & Criticism and an MA in Arts Administration & Policy.
Full Circle Arts is offering $600 in prizes. All art is expected to be the original work of the submitting artist.
