Mooresville Arts is pleased to announce its 12th Annual Winter Juried Exhibition!
This year’s exhibit attracted 111 submissions from 60 artists. Out of the 111 entries, 42 pieces of artwork, created by 31 artists, were chosen for the exhibition. This year’s Juror was Megan Mathieu Tran, Managing Director of Elder Gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Accepted artwork for the Winter Juried Exhibit includes paintings, photography, pottery, wood, glass, and mixed media work, and this show will be on display in Mooresville Arts Center and Skylight Galleries. Most of the artwork on view is for sale, and art sales directly benefit local artists and Mooresville Arts, a nonprofit organization.
Mrs. Tran, Show Juror, had this overall commentary for the exhibit:
