I submitted pastel drawings and one acrylic painting to a national juried exhibition called the SAAG 2017 National Juried Show. it was sponsored by Southern Appalachian Artist Guild, Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association. The exhibition was held in the Richard Low Evans Courtroom Gallery in The Art Center at Blue Ridge, Georgia from October 7 -November 11, 2017. The juror was Tuva Page Stephens. Much of the shipping, crating and framing expenses were funded by the Faculty Scholarly Support Fund. All three works were accepted into the exhibition and one of them received an Honorable Mention award. All three works are presented here in the 2018 Festival of Excellence.
