FALL JUDGED ART EXHIBITION

Annual Spring Judged Art Show, 2024
The Cabarrus Art Guild celebrated local artists at our
Annual Fall Judged Art Show, 2024 Reception

A fabulous afternoon was had by our attendees, taking in all the art created by our local artists. Entries were from Members and non-Members from Cabarrus and surrounding counties. We asked local artists, friends and neighbors to join us in celebrating art and sharing their work.  Please see the ribbon-winning entries below, showcasing different styles and art types.

We are privileged to continue to award First, Second, Third and (2) Honorable Mention awards in two categories, 2D and 3D. A grant from the Grassroots Art Program of the North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency, and the Cabarrus Arts Council partially supports these awards.
