GRANBURY, TEXAS—Tarleton State University’s Dora Lee Langdon Cultural and Educational Center in Granbury is calling for artists to select their finest works for entry into a national juried art show.
The deadline for submission in the 13th Annual Rio Brazos Art Exhibition (RBAE) is Aug. 17. The exhibition will be at the Langdon Center on Oct. 11.
Artwork in all media will be considered for judging—including, but not limited to, water media, oil, acrylic, pastel, mixed-media, photography, printmaking, graphics, collage, three-dimensional and fabric. Artists must be at least 18, and work must be original.
The RBAE began in 1997 by several Granbury-area professional artists and has grown from a small purse to one that now exceeds $8,000 in cash and merchandise awards. Artists from across the United States enter each year.
The exhibition judge will be Elizabeth Yarosz-Ash, a professor of art at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas.
The Cross Timbers Fine Arts Council, a non-profit fine arts presenter organization, is the major sponsor of the RBAE. The council serves an eight-county area, which includes Hood, Erath, Bosque, Comanche, Eastland, Hamilton, Palo Pinto and Somervell counties.
The Tarleton Foundation, Inc. and numerous local and regional businesses also support the RBAE. The coordinators of this event plan to create an atmosphere that will inspire, educate and entertain as well as attract quality art and discriminating buyers.
