Most of the News All The Time m THE STATE PORT PILOT Volume No. 22 A Good Newspaper In A Good Community No. 1 10-Pages Today SOUTHPORT, N. C. The Pilot Covers Brunswick County WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1961 Sc A COPY PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY rirst r estival Classified As Great Success Large Number Of Entries In Art Competition Encour aging To Sponsors Of Show The four-day A.rts Festival first ever to be held in Southport, con cluded Tuesday afternoon in ad vance of threatened rain. Fair weather had fortunately accompanied the festival, which combined both indoor and outdoor exhibits, from its opening hour on Saturday afternoon, and good crowds thronged the city hall building and its surrounding grounds. The vivid colors, deft brush strokes, pliable fingers and a sense of artistic awareness, had here presented a kaleidescope of Southern landscape and still life, in volume and in quality. Since most exhibitors were kept busy escorting visitors around the showings, strict attendance rec ords were not kept. One estimate, however, gave 400 as the number of visitors on opening day. The work of some 50 artists was on exhibition. On Sunday afternoon two judges from Wilmington chose those exhibits which, in their estimation, won Lop honors. First, second and third-place awards were made in five divisions: Oils, watercoiors, sculpture, graphic art (photography), and ceramics. There was also an exhibit of chil dren’s art. First place in the oils went to Lucille Newton and was titled “Atlantic Storm”; Margaret Dav is’ "Boat Trailer” took second prize in this division, while "Model Makers” by Ray Sawyer won third place. In this important division, honorable mention was made of “Midnight Cypress” and “Shadow Swamp”, both painted by Gilliam Hornstein. Etta Williams’ “Path of Hurri- j caiie,” swept first prize in. water-j colors, with Bert Wells’ “House ] at Long Beach" taking second and Waters Thompson's "Dorian Gray” copping third. "Grandmother and Grandfather’’ won top honors for Virginia Ride out in the art of molding and carvmg, this time in clays. Mrs. Rideout was practically a one woman show in sculpture, usually thought of as a man’s pursuit. Gilliam Hornstein’s “Daffodils" took first in graphic arts cate gory; while Mary M. Small’s “Re fracted Light1’ took second, and Hester Donnelly’s “Front and Market" placed third. “Fish Salad Bowls” by Mar garet Kelley led the ceramics di vision, with Virginia Rideout’s “California Sea Lion ’ second, and Maria Inge Ryne’s "Peter and the Fish” taking third place. In the children’s division Patty Key won first-place with her “Driftwood”; Ria Ryne captured second with “Landscape”, and Aline Corbett’s “Thrush" took third prize. Joe Ryne, president of the Southport Ait Association, ex pressed himself as “perfectly sat isfied with our first real arts ex hibition. The crowds were larger than hoped for; the visitors on the whole showed surprising familiari ty with art in general, and South port itself was well represented both in passive and active sense.” Ryne said that it was a certain ty that the festival, will be held again next year, and would “be come an annual institution in Southport.” BrUf Blit Of Victor Bartels and several of his children are visiting his moth er, Mrs. Bertha Bartels in South port.
