The Dr. N. Lee Morris Gallery at the Drs. Bruce and Lee Foundation Library in Florence, South Carolina announces a call to artists for the first semi-annual Magic City Survey, a juried art competition. This art competition is open to all amateur and professional artists ages 16 and up who reside in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. The exhibition will showcase the highest caliber of art relating to South Carolina and will provide a venue by which artists can express their talents and achievements. The theme for this year’s Magic City Survey will be “Southern Impressions—Depictions of Life in the South.”
Entries for this competition may be submitted from July 2, 2012 to September 30, 2012. The competition will be judged in two phases. Initial judging will be based on digital images of the works submitted. Finalists moving on from the first phase will be invited to participate in the Magic City Survey Finalists’ Exhibition which will be on display in the Gallery from November 5, 2012 to January 4, 2013. On December 3-4, 2012 celebrated watercolorist, Mary Whyte, will jury the finalists show and select winners of the 2012 Magic City Survey. Those artists will receive awards at the artists’ reception during the presentation of Whyte’s new book Down Bohicket Road on December 4 at 5:30 PM. Prizes include invitations for solo exhibitions in the Dr. N. Lee Morris Gallery.

I’ll have to tell my sister about this! She may be interested in submitting something.

And, if you haven’t dropped by to look at the gallery, I would recommend stopping by sometime and head up to our second floor to see our permanent collection before it is taken down for this exhibit. The gallery is open whenever the library is so please feel free to drop by and take a few moments to browse.
I’m not an artist, but I have a friend who is so I will be passing this information along.
