The first annual Panhandle Fall Art Roundup, a Western and wildlife juried fine art show, will be held November 3-4 at the Bairfield Building at Clarendon College.
The show will coincide with the opening of deer season to accommodate the many out of town and out of state hunters who are avid collectors.
The Donley County Tourism Council is announcing and organizing the event.
The show is open to Panhandle resident artists looking to promote and sell their art. The show is limited to wildlife and Western art in most medias – oil, acrylic, watercolor, and sculpture.
The roundup will be juried with cash prizes for Best of Show, First Place Wildlife, and First Place Western. In addition, numerous prize purchases are guaranteed.
A well-known Fort Worth judge with full art credentials is going to choose the award winners on Saturday, November 3. A reservation only reception at the historic Lowe House will follow. Nationally recognized artist James Ivey Edwards and local activist Weldon Sears will co-chair the event.
Accredited artists and sponsors have been personally contacted.
“The Panhandle Fall Art Roundup offers area artists a forum to display their talent,” said project chairman Edwards. This show provides an outlet for talented artists and a wonderful free art exhibit for art lovers alike.
The Donley County Tourism Council encourages artists to contact Dee Dee Autry at 806-874-3889 or Carolina Selvidge at 806-874-2670. Space is limited so it is recommended to contact the council soon for further information.
