The 25th Annual Regional High School Juried Exhibition

March 13 - 26, 2006

Juror: Melissa Clement, Fayetteville Observer Times

Selected from 141 entries representing eleven high schools, the forty-one works on display represent the finest achievements of our up-and-coming regional artists.

Thanks to this year's sponsors: Jerry Johnson Chevrolet, Lumberton; The Center for Community Action, Lumberton; The Red Springs Arts Council; and Wal-Mart, Lumberton.

Juror’s Statement by Melissa Clement:

I was pleasantly surprised when I juried this show. The quality of the work was outstanding and well beyond other student shows I have seen. The teachers deserve credit along with the students. With more professional framing much of the work would have a chance to be accepted in regional art shows, if age limits allows. Adult shows in this area tend to be packed with flower paintings and landscapes. It was a pleasure to see different subject matter. The best work was portraiture. I liked the self-portraits and portraits of other students, rather than copies of faces of the rich and famous, although most were well handled. I would like to see more creativity, see students get a little wild and experimental. Study the art of some of the modern artists who make their own rules, but don't forget that every artist needs a foundation of good drawing ability. The sculptures were the most original pieces. I want to encourage students to visit exhibitions and enter more competitions. If your work is rejected, remember, it's just the opinion and personal taste of the juror. Keep up the good work.
