2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the Rockwall Art League’s Annual Fine Art Show. Once again, the show will be held at the beautiful Rockwall Golf and Athletic Club Conference Center, The Shores, 2600 Champion Circle, Rockwall. The show opens 12 noon on Friday October 2nd and runs through Sunday October 4th. The hours are Friday 12:00pm – 7pm, Saturday 10am – 7pm, Sunday 12pm-4pm with an Awards ceremony and artist reception on Saturday 5pm – 7pm.
Show admission is free to the public. With respect for current concerns regarding Covid 19 we will be following the Rockwall County prescribed safety precautions for social distancing and masks and for those who are taking extra precautions we will be hosting our show virtually through the Rockwall Art League website at www.RockwallArtLeague.org.
Our judges this year include world renowned Texas Watercolorist Randy Meador; Pam Masser, owner of The Dutch Art Gallery which has been serving the Dallas Fort Worth area art community since 1965; and Rockwall Municipal Judge David Mallard, local attorney and long-time patron of the arts. There will be 7 categories of artwork on display: Oil, Watercolor, Acrylic, Photography, Drawing, Sculpture, and Mixed Media. Awards include Best of Show, 1stand 2nd Place in each category and of course, the coveted People’s Choice award which represents your opportunity to overrule our judges and have your voice heard by voting for the piece you find most inspiring.
Rockwall Art League (RAL) has been promoting fine art in our community for two decades. Founded in 1999, RAL serves local artists and Rockwall residents by arranging opportunities for community art displays, hosting artist demos, promoting workshops, funding scholarships, and staffing the ArtReach program. Each year RAL awards the Tom Collins Scholarship to a graduating high school senior pursuing an art degree in college. For more information on this scholarship and instructions on how to apply please visit our webpage. In addition, RAL members have been engaged in working with mentally, emotionally, or physically challenged adults through ArtReach since its inception in 2012. Art as therapy is a proven avenue for developing creative expression and promoting healing. A selection of artwork from the ArtReach program will be on display at the Fine Art Show.
The Show attracts artists from across North Texas. For more information on how to enter visit our website or the Rockwall Art League Facebook page for a show prospectus. Entry deadline is midnight September 18, 2020.
