The Rockmart Cultural Arts Center’s annual Juried Art Show continues to be the main focus of the gallery in the city hall complex through early March, but over the weekend the organizers took the opportunity to gather those who submitted their work to be celebrated for their creativity.
The Saturday Gala for the annual show saw many of the artists participating in the show come out along with patrons and artlovers alike to congratulate the 2023 ribbon winners for their artwork in several categories. Kelly Dees with Ron Cline and Rodney Fields provided music during the evening gala event on January 21, but the main focus was the creative talents of those who had their work on display around the gallery.
Susan Waters took the Best in Show for one of her latest paintings on display. Additional awards were presented to Kathy Torres, Susan Gore Gardner, Donna Leonard, Jen W. Fugelsoe, Mike Ramey, Chantelle Chapman, Hillari Knight, Randy Wenzel and Roy Moon, among others.
This year’s Juried Art Show began on January 12 and continues through March 9. The public are invited to come to the gallery and vote on the People’s Choice Award before the award is announced on March 9.
