Exhibit Guide | Southwest Georgia


ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

ABOUT THIS EXHIBIT GUIDE:

SOUTHWESTGEORGIAThe Office of the Governor in partnership

with Georgia Council for the Arts is pleased to announce a call for entries for The Art of Georgia II: Portraits of a Community. This second iteration of the exhibit follows the inaugural Art of Georgia: Celebrating Georgia’s Landscapes and People which exhibited 133 works by 95 Georgia artists over a two-year period from 2012-2014.

The Art of Georgia II: Portraits of a Community seeks to capture the uniqueness of communities throughout Georgia as seen, explored, and depicted through the artist’s eye. Two-dimensional visual art, in a variety of media, exploring this theme will be considered. The exhibit will hang in the executive offices of the State Capitol and showcase current work of contemporary Georgia visual artists. Artwork will be sought and selected by region over a two-year time frame, with work from each region on display for approximately six-months. Three-dimensional work and film and video instillations are not eligible. This is not a professional, juried competition. Pieces will be selected by Georgia Council for the Arts and the Office of the Governor. All decisions are final.

Seventeen images by thirteen southwest Georgia artists were selected as part of The Art of Georgia II: Portraits of Community. The work, portrayed on the following pages, will be on display at the Georgia State Capitol through the end of April 2015. All work is for sale unless otherwise noted. Interested parties should contact the artist directly to handle purchase agreements. Contact information for each artist is provided on the following pages.
