Carolina Color
Presented by Frameworks Gallery
Daily, during show hours
Join JLR and Visual Art Exchange during SPREE! for our third annual juried art exhibit and sale. Someplace Like Home, this year’s special collection, is about capturing an image that makes the viewer feel at home. Whether a familiar landscape from your childhood, a specific house you have called home, or a scene of objects that comfort you, the work should convey that intangible yet universal sense of home. The gallery opens Wednesday, Oct. 21 and runs through Sunday, Oct. 25.

Jurors for the 2009 exhibition are Adam Cave, owner of ADAM CAVE FINE ART in Raleigh; Nicole Kennedy, an artist and gallery owner representing over 30 artists, many of which are from North Carolina; and JLR sustainer Melissa Peden, an art consultant and former owner of Peden Gallery II. 

Be sure to cast your vote for the People's Choice Award during the Preview Gala on Wednesday night. There are special prizes for the people's choice as well as for first, second and third place jurors’ selections. All winners will be announced on gala night.

Please stay tuned to http://www.carolinacolorgallery.com and the eLink for a list of selected artists starting August 20.
