ATTEND OUR SALON SHOW ON 10/15 AT ELDER GALLERY

The Carolina’s Got Art! 2010 Grand Opening was a tremendous success!  What a great outpouring of support from the greater Carolina community.  In our second year, we more than doubled attendance in the opening weekend (from 700 to over 1400).  Attendees had opportunities to see the best of the best of our Carolina artists – 135 pieces in total. But given the quality of the 1800 entries, we decided to put on yet another exhibition to showcase more of the work.

Join us on October 15 at Elder Gallery for the opening of the Carolina Salon show, an exhibition of an additional 40 pieces chosen from among the 1800 submitted during the 2010 Carolina’s Got Art! call for artists.  It will kick off at Elder Gallery (1427 South Blvd., Charlotte, NC).  Larry Elder, founder of Carolina’s Got Art!, functioned as juror for this additional show, so you may find it has a different feel than the CGA! show running concurrently in Atherton Mill through 10/30.  HOURS OF OPERATION.

Mystery: Carolina’s Got Art! is fashioned after an annual art exhibit which was sponsored by Springs Mills for several years during the 1970s and 1980s. The juried show has since been discontinued but exciting memories still exist for those who participated. The “Springs Show” was greatly anticipated since it provided an opportunity for artists to compete with their best work for prize money and prestige. The objective of Carolina’s Got Art! is similar.

Our hope is for Carolina’s Got Art! to become one of the 21st century’s premier visual art exhibitions in the two Carolinas.
