Town & Country Amateur Art Show
County
Springer Cultural Center hosts annually the Town & Country County Amateur Art Show. These shows are held throughout the state to encourage amateur artists to experiment with the visual arts. It’s an opportunity for youth and adults who are not professionally trained in drawing, painting, sculpting, photography, printmaking, digital media, pottery and crafts to have an opportunity to display their talent in this show. Work must be new and completed since April 2009. The show is jurored by a professional in the area of arts. There are two divisions to enter, youth and adult. The juror will rank the work by placing blue, red, white ribbons for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. Plus a ribbon is awarded for Best of Show in each division. Those who receive a blue ribbon or Best of Show are eligible to enter the State Town & Country Amateur Art Show in the fall. Please read the forms closely in order to properly follow guidelines.
State
Springer Cultural Center also hosts annually the State Town & Country Amateur Art Show. The State Show is comprised of blue ribbon winners from County Amateur Art Shows from across the state. These winners compete against each other for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Best of Show. Each County Amateur Art Show Coordinator sends in their blue ribbon winner names and information to the Cultural Arts Coordinator for the state show. The Cultural Arts Coordinator then sends each blue ribbon winner an entry form for the State Show. Questions, call Michelle at 398-2376.
