Athens State University is sponsoring its annual Heritage Art Exhibit that gathers works spotlighting one example of an important architectural building or feature located on campus.
The Heritage Art Exhibit was founded in 2002, and this year the exhibit will feature works inspired by the university president’s home, the historic Beaty Mason mansion located at 211 S. Beaty St.
The works of art must be submitted by hand delivery on Friday, Sept. 26 in room 16 of McCandless Hall between the hours of 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Exhibit dates are from Sept. 30 through Oct. 30 in the Sandridge Student Center.
An exhibit opening and awards presentation will be held at noon on Sept. 30.
The winning art piece will receive $150 and become a part of the university's permanent collection, hanging on the campus of Athens State University along with the past winners.
ASU President Dr. Robert Glenn will choose the winner.
The exhibit is open to all North Alabama and southern Tennessee artists who are at least 18 years old. Each artist may submit up to three entries at no charge in the following categories: acrylics, graphics, mixed media, oils, pastel, or watercolors.
The works must be no larger than 50 inches in either direction and must be framed under plexiglass and fitted with eye screws for hanging.
For more information or to receive a registration form call Pamela Keller at (256) 233-8232.
