VALDOSTA — In the past few days, regional art teachers have poured into the galleries of the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts. They have brought carloads of paintings, drawings and other art items created by their students.
Arts center staff has worked diligently to replace the last set of artworks with these new works representing the creative minds, visions and talents of dozens of young artists. All purposefully committed within a crucible of a few days, with one day less to accomplish mounting these exhibits than normal.
For instead of the traditional Monday evening opening reception for a new art exhibit, these exhibits and these young artists were honored with a reception Sunday afternoon.
The Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts opens the annual Youth Art exhibition, the annual Invitational Regional High School Competition, and the Art Educators Exhibit.
Youth Art Month invites area elementary and middle school art teachers to participate in the exhibit with works by their students. Each area art teacher could select 25 pieces for this exhibit.
If holding true to tradition, the Invitational Regional High School Competition features high schools from South Georgia and North Florida. As the show’s title suggests, this is a juried exhibition where student artists have the opportunity to win cash prizes.
While the show opened Sunday, art was scheduled to arrive as late as Saturday, after the deadline for this section of your Sunday newspaper. To give you a taste of the show’s spirit, we present art from the Pine Grove Middle School student exhibit that just closed in the arts center’s Roberta George Children’s Gallery.
