Art Exhibition at Gallery by Catherine Edwards The Case Art Gallery is .Ditently showing the pastern 'inrth Carolina Regional Schol- Art Awards Exhibition for |oso The forty-six counties ffnresenied provide an insight Jo the local work being initi- jied at the classroom levels. Ijese classroom levels have divided into two groups. Group 1, junior high, is grades 7 tbrough 9 and group 2, senior high is grades 10 through 12 ad is being judged seperately. The individual teachers chose tie original works that were sent to the regional contest. This year 1,100 entries were tttwed. The chosen judges were selected because they are educators and artists and have an understanding of art at a secondary’ level. This year the judges selected one out of every ten entries for the exhibit. Norbert Irvine, a professor of art at A.C.C. and director of the Eastern Regional Exhibit, ex pressed his opinion that the works .lot chosen for this exhibit were as good as the art selected for the exhibition. This indicates the difficulty that the judges had in making a final decision and also describes the high quality of work on exhibit at the A.C.C. gallery. The art work that is on exhibit, until February 15, 1980, represents winners of the Gold Key and are the show finalists. The artists actually receive an engraved gold key which is to be presented to them by their respective school principals. The regional sponsors will then send the finalists to the national headquarters at Scholastic Mag azines to be judged for the national awards. Last year. North Carolina received four percent of the presented Nat ional Awards. One student artist representing North Carolina, received an art scholarship to Pratt, New York, and Phoenix school of Design through the Scholastic Art Awards. Following this exhibit the certificate winners for the Hon orable Mention work will be on exhibit from February 18th through February 29th. The goal of the contest, is to en courage students through the recognition they receive at the local and national levels. The local regional sponsor for the show is WITN-TV, Channel 7. WITN in conjuntion with A.C.C. has sponsored the show for the past two years. Mr. Irvine stated that, “the exhibit dem onstrates that good art teaching is being done not only in the larger cities, but in small com munities as well. In addition. Eastern North Carolina young artists can hold their own against other regions as well as on the national level,” I strongly suggest that every one should visit this exhibit as others are doing concurrently in fifty-seven regions across the United States. The work pre sented is refreshingly original, representive of the local com munities and offers an excellent chance to view new talent on its way to New York's national judging.
